Anti-Drug Scripts
Re “White House Tie to Anti-Drug TV Scripts Criticized,” Jan. 14: Why does the government need to bribe TV networks to present the government’s point of view on drug use? Why isn’t it OK for something like marijuana to be presented for what it’s worth: Some people have trouble with it, while others use it without any real problems.
After all, the government doesn’t demand that motor vehicles, for example, be presented solely in the context of motor vehicle accidents or that drinking always be presented in the context of alcoholism. But for that to happen, the government would have to be interested in truth and not just in propaganda.
