CLARIFICATION: STUDENT DOES NOT CONDONE DRUG USE
Richmond school district education committee member Christine McCreary, a
London secondary Grade 12 student, does not condone the use of marijuana.
Despite its socially acceptable status, McCreary agrees marijuana is a
"gateway" drug; one that students as young as Grade 8 smoke which can lead
to cocaine use by the time that same student reaches Grade 12.
Any inferences taken from McCreary's comments in the Feb. 27 edition of the
News that she, herself, smokes marijuana, are incorrect. The News
apologizes for any misunderstanding this may have caused.
