WAR ON DRUGS
Why is this nation so eager to fight a futile war, and so reluctant to opt
for demand-control tactics that could actually have an effect?
Evidence shows that the surest and cheapest way to diminish drug abuse is to
help kids steer clear of it and to provide treatment to those already in its
grip. Even so, only 4 cents of every anti-drug dollar is spent on prevention
and treatment.
