ADULTS OLD ENOUGH TO DECIDE ON DRUGS

To the editor:

Re: Drug Problems Begin At Home, (The Daily News, July 30).

Staff Sgt. James Templeton and professor Cameron Wild are both wrong. The 
drug problem is no more a law-enforcement issue or a health issue than 
hanging witches was or lynching blacks was or gassing Jews was. It is a 
human-rights issue. Free adults have the right to ingest any drug, however 
harmful - period.
