WHEN ELIMINATING ILLEGAL DRUGS, DON'T STOP AT SCHOOLS
Getting illegal drugs out of the high schools is a worthy goal, but while
we are at it, why don't we get illegal drugs out of the whole town?
Many Athenians believe the university supports a drug culture. But it looks
to me like most of our drug users have nothing to do with the university.
Downtown Athens, on the other hand, seems to be built around alcohol,
tobacco and the drug culture. How did it get that way, and is that what we
want the centerpiece of our town to be?
