CRIME LEGISLATION IGNORES YOUTH

Editor:

Educators for Sensible Drug Policy (EFSDP) does not support mandatory
minimums. We support and encourage scientific, relevant and reality
based drug education for our youth. We need to build more schools not
more prisons.

Drug problems need to be a health issue and not a criminal
issue.

Prisons are terrible places. If what you ask pertains to dealers, then
it would be prudent of us as responsible adults to have our children
educated about the facts of all drugs and not become victims of the
servants of the drug war.

When you support mandatory minimums you support crime, criminals and
the destruction of young minds. When you support drug education you
support health, safety and the promise of a bright future. If anything
our youth need to be protected from a government that continually
ignores their well-being.
