DRUGS IN NORMAL HOUSEHOLDS

I AM continually baffled by how many people aged over 30 have a naive
attitude the drug problem that is apparent in Australia (Daily Telegraph,
June 28).

When will they realise that marijuana and other soft drugs are in constant
supply and are very widely used throughout the community? It is not just
used in the dark alleys by teenagers at Kings Cross, but in your normal
everyday household on every day of the week, by people of all ages.

Since this is the case, why should The Daily Telegraph be astonished that
drugs are being dealt on the street and there is no action taken about it.
