FREE ADVICE WORTH ITS COST

Re: "Letters to the editor," (April 30). The Lindesmith Center's program 
officer, Robert Sharpe, from Washington, D.C., no less, expressed his 
opinion that the DARE program is counterproductive. The recognized and 
acknowledged focus of the Lindesmith Center Drug Policy Foundation is to 
liberalize drug laws (and as a consequence, drug use), and they spend a lot 
of money lobbying the American government towards that objective. One needs 
to be aware of the ulterior motives of those who purport to provide 
"neighbourly" advice.
