WE CAN'T LET UP FOR AN INSTANT IN THIS WAR
Mention the word "war" and you can easily start one of your own.
Nationally, the topic is as controversial and as volatile as any in our
vocabularies.
But there is one war that is neither controversial nor likely to start an
argument. It is one that every one of us should be waging constantly,
without ever letting up, because it is too important to the future of our
country and to the good health of our citizens for us ever to relent. That
is the war on drugs, particularly as it applies to teenagers. Teens who
experiment with drugs can easily be starting a pattern of destructive
behavior that can lead to dire consequences - at the present moment and in
the long term as well.
The subject of teen involvement in drugs is one that national studies are
used to assess. The question is constantly being asked: Are we winning or
losing the war?
