But that isn't my main point with regard to drugs, nor is it the main point of the Natural Law Party. I don't like to dwell on this, because I feel it does no good. Once again, the first casualty in any war is truth. I wouldn't want to put my energy into propaganda. I want to put my energy, and the energy of this country, into programs proven to work.
People take drugs because they are weak.
Give them a chance to grow strong. That will never work, because those weak enough to be drawn to dangerous drugs are already saying no to life. We must give them something to say yes to. I'm saying that we probably don't need to educate kids about drugs. I'm saying this on the basis of a number of studies of alternative approaches.
