Must be some bureaucrat with nothing else to do. Having a bunch of people talking about this will not prevent some person from overdosing on their preferred drugs. What is needed is the type of advertisement now used regarding using your phone while driving. Show the results of drug use. Those already addicted won't pay any attention but it might help keep others from starting. And the police must start serious raiding of suspected illegal drug labs and the courts must start pronouncing serious sentencing of those found guilty. It is time we quit mollycoddling drug users and criminal drug makers. Barry Kennington, Hamilton - --- MAP posted-by: Matt
