Focus on Treatment of Drug Users

RECEIVED Mon., Oct. 13, 2003

Now we finally know what's wrong with Rush; he was on drugs.
   Ah, but I joke. In reality, I can look past all the bad propaganda he's put out and see his human side. By his own words he should be locked up in a little cell, but I like his present course: admitting the problem and moving on to treatment.
   In the last issue of the Chronicle, Louis Black did a good job in presenting the fallacy of the "drug war." I'm not convinced though. I don't think pot is harmless, but I don't agree with the zero tolerance position. I'm more of a Rush Limbo guy myself; I prefer a solution that focuses on treatment.
