THE TRUTH ON DRUGS

Profits From Sales Support Terrorism

Robert A. Wiley asked for the truth in his attack against D.A.R.E. in the
Jan. 18 Gazette ("Drug education programs not based on science," Letters).
Yes, I think it is sad that cancer and AIDS patients can't get
prescriptions of marijuana. Meanwhile, the idea of other people using
marijuana is disgusting.

As a retired high school teacher I can tell you that kids under the
influence are goofy and abusive. It is also known that part of the money
spent on dope goes to terrorists. So, anyone who uses, sells, buys or
promotes any kind of dope is a traitor to the United States. Any dopehead
who has a conscience should be in utter remorse that they helped terrorists
on Sept. 11.
