To respond to the closing remarks - Dear Sir, in the offchance you missed the remarks from the Representative because you were too busy formulating your responses in your head, let me make this clear - the drug issue you describe was CAUSED by YOUR OWN AGENCY and its lack of properly educating the public over the last 4-7 decades (or however long you all have presided over Just Say No). You own this. 'Abstinence education' led to a dramatic rise in abortions before saner policies took root. Learn from that and save our young people the unnecessary trauma.
