"WHAT NEEDS TO BE DONE TO WIN THE WAR ON DRUGS?"

Joe O'Brian, Munster

"There just has to be a harder crackdown on it, and stop it where it starts."

Beth Murzyn, Munster

"There has to be a broader control, but I'm not sure what that would be."

Karolyn Young, Lansing

"If kids were involved in other activities, then that would help."

Kathleen Hophberg, Hobart

"More hands-on parenting and after-school activities. Bring morals
back into schools."

Anne Horlacher, South Holland

"Lock the kids indoors."

Doug Julian, Hobart

"Education is the key to everything."

Leslie Gifford, Munster

"It starts with the parents knowing where there kids are and what
they are doing."

Gary Tufaga, Portage

"Passing a law to tax them, that would help a little bit. Go from the
small people and work their way up to the drug lords."

Ben Newton, Oden Dunes

"Have the government make bad drugs to make those who do them die."

Matt Fifield, Chesterton

"I think people who do drugs will do them anyway. If they're
addicted, they will do anything to get them."

Carol Rospierski, Valparaiso

"They need to do something to get rid of all the drugs around. Maybe
have a rehab facility for those who get busted to spend their jail time."

Roxanne Powell, Burns Harbor

"That's a hard thing to do. They come from all over. They bust one,
then another comes in. I feel sorry for the DEA and police officers."

Jessica Carrasco, Portage

"There's a lot of things that officers don't know about, like parties
and things like that. There's room for improvement, but it's getting better."

Tony Donohue, Portage

"In Portage, having Officer Troy come to the high school. It shows
the kids they aren't messing around."
