BEING AWARE OF THE ILLEGAL DRUG PROBLEM

The news that police recently conducted the fourth crack cocaine bust
in a month should be sobering to all Islanders. If there's any doubt
that heavy duty drugs have infiltrated P.E.I., this should dispel it.

There have been other indications that the illegal drug culture is
thriving here. The P.E.I. Pharmacy Board said recently that some
cough medicines were put behind the pharmacy counter last April
because some consumers were making crystal methamphetamine from the products.

Clearly Islanders need to be aware of the increasing presence of
drugs in their communities. They also need to recognize that fighting
this will require more drug prevention programs and more resources
for our police agencies so they can crack down on those driving the drug trade.
