D.A.R.E. Criticizes 'Euphoria' For Glorifying Teen Drug Use

• The HBO series Euphoria is catching some heat from the national anti-drug program D.A.R.E (Drug Abuse Resistance Education).
• In a recent statement, the organization has accused the show of “glorifying” drug use, addiction, “anonymous sex” among teenagers.
• “It is unfortunate that HBO, social media, television program reviewers, and paid advertising have chosen to refer to the show as ‘groundbreaking,’ rather than recognizing the potential negative consequences on school-age children who today face unparalleled risks and mental health challenges.”
• D.A.R.E has offered to meet with the executive and producer of the show to present their concerns directly.
