MIXED MESSAGES

Re "Crystal Death" (April 22):

The question that needs to be asked is: Why don't teens and others believe
those who warn them about the dangers of drugs? The answer: Because
when the drug war cheerleaders lie about or grossly exaggerate the
dangers of marijuana, they lose all credibility. When teenagers find
out that they have been lied to about marijuana, they make the logical
assumption that they are also being lied to about the dangers of other
drugs - like methamphetamine.
