RUSH LIMBAUGH CAN RETHINK HIS STANCE ON DRUG ABUSE

As I read the editorial about Rush Limbaugh in the Oct. 15 edition, I
felt that a few things should be mentioned.

First of all, the editor says that Mr. Limbaugh has the opportunity to
put a human face on the drug problem, but there has been and there is
a "human face" on the drug problem. People who have had someone in
their family deal with a drug problem, to include alcoholism, have
seen this "human face."

I do, however, believe that Mr. Limbaugh does have an opportunity do
something. He has a chance now to rethink some of his stances with
drug abuse and at the same time use his influence to tear down the
stereotypes and stigmatism attached to drug abuse.
