But aren’t we losing the fight against drugs?
- No. Since the height of drug use in the Seventies, drug use is down overall by 30 percent; 95 percent of Americans do not use drugs.
- Despite what people believe, drug use by young people is on a downward trend, and most teens never even try drugs.
- We know that our world will never be drug free, but our society is not murder free or robbery free either – do we not continue to fight to protect human life and property? Isn’t it important as well to fight for the human right to live without addiction and the problems it creates for users and the innocent?
