DRUG EDUCATION NEEDED

Guy Buehler is wrong to suggest that the teen who allegedly sold
ecstasy to his step-daughter Cassie Williams should be charged with
her death. She took the equivalent of 18 doses. The seller is not
responsible for her ignorant overuse of the drug. What we should focus
on is making sure that if a 14-year-old takes ecstasy, he or she is
aware of the danger and, more importantly, how much is too much. But,
just as we struggle with sex education, we will struggle even more
with drug education. Leaving kids in ignorance does not result in
bliss, but death. Wake up, people.
