Still at it.

It's been years since I've posted here and a lot has happened. I have spoken to another 75 thousand students, parents, administrators and professionals on the subjects of drug abuse, misuse and trafficking. I have personally helped scores of people to reach treatment for addiction and have counseled many others toward drug-free lives.

We have many more schools, corporations, Native American Tribes and community groups using our Narconon drug prevention services on a regular basis.

I can't say that the drug situation in Southern California is looking up. In fact the use of methamphetamine and ecstasy is staying alarmingly high in the high schools and now in the middle schools too. I can say, however, that teachers and principals are realizing more and more that prevention is the only real solution.

We can't stop the problem with enforcement. As long as someone as long as there is some fool standing there with fifty dollars in his hand saying, "Give me drugs!", there will be drug pushers and dealers ready to supply the drugs.

More laws will never handle it. We already have so many laws that we practically get a ticket getting out of bed in the morning.

No, the only answer it better, more effective and comprehensive drug education.
