KIDS GET MIXED MESSAGE ON DRUGS

Isn't it wonderful that we make heroes out of drug users? We have the
schools, churches, law enforcement agencies and parents telling our young
people not to use drugs. They are told the great damage drugs will do to
you. They are shown where drug dealers who are caught spend years behind bars.

Then the press and TV spend untold hours telling how good these other drug
users are. They are well-known athletes and we stand there and praise and
worship them. They are paid in the millions, their attorneys lie for them
and we tell our kids to be like them.
