ILLEGAL DRUGS -- DRUG COURT PROGRAM IS VITAL

In regard to Drug Court, I am in favor of anything that will put a
dent in illegal drug use.

Illegal drugs are the most destructive thing I can think of. They
destroy individuals and families. Addicts will rob, steal, prostitute
themselves and even kill to get their fix.

We were taught from an early age in our home and in our schools the
danger of drugs, yet some still think they can do drugs without any
consequences. They can't.

Yes, please keep open any program that will help those who will be
helped. Those who refuse to be helped will just have to suffer.

They will cause their loved ones anguish and heartache all their lives.

GEORGE C. THORNTON, Jacksonville
