Clinton Drug Plan

Re “Clinton Unveils Plan to Divert Youthful Users,” Feb. 26: The plan to divert youthful drug users should include zero tolerance. The president and the public should be demanding that professional sports team owners and movie, television and other entertainment executives have a zero tolerance drug policy as a condition of employment. Some of these highly paid, high-profile individuals have more money than they ever had in their lives and are using drugs as a means of entertainment. Unfortunately, our young people often use these same individuals as role models.

Imposing a zero-drug-use policy will send a message loud and clear to all the highly paid individuals that they will lose their source of money if they use drugs; and our youths will get the message that drug abuse is wrong and there are severe consequences that result.
