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?
