PUT $ INTO PROGRAMS

You're not going to stop the drug culture. They have a war on drugs in the 
U.S. and it doesn't stop anything. You should put money into programs for 
kids to do things after school.

You're just wasting your money on drug-sniffing dogs because people will do 
drugs anyway. A better use would be to spend the money on activities for kids.

Spend it educating the kids, not hiring private security firms.
