WRONG DRUG MESSAGE
Regarding the Feb. 23 article "These are your grandparents, on drugs,"
the fact that most N&O readers are mature adults is irrelevant. How
many kids in Wake County high schools had to come to history class
with a current event from the newspaper, and saw the front-page
"grandparent" hitting a marijuana smoke-filled bong?
How many kids cut this picture out to show their classmates as their
interest in experimenting with drugs has been ever-increasing?
With all the anti-drug spots on TV, it would be nice to see a similar
ad in the paper occasionally instead of giving kids ammunition against
their parents to become users.
