'JUST SAY NO' IS A BLURRY SLOGAN

RE: "Kids who drink need help (SDN Aug. 22)

I am replying to Dennis Kaiser's letter. With all respects, if his two
Vietnam buddies had been passed out from alcohol instead of hashish, would
he propose a reinstatement of alcohol prohibition like we had in the 1920s?

Children should not drink alcohol. Neither should they drive a car before
age 16. And 15-year-old girls should not have sex until they grow up and
get married.

The problem with the "Just Say No to Drugs" message is that it draws no
distinction between adults and children, use and abuse or legal (alcohol)
and illegal (cannabis). It's just a blurry slogan with no coherent thought.

Cannabis should be taxed and regulated like alcohol and moderation, which
is the biblical teaching, should be emphasized.
