US Drug Czar Visits Pasadena Recovery Center
The country’s top drug official – White House Drug Policy Director Gil
Kerlikowske – traveled from Washington, D.C. to California, at the invitation of the Pasadena Recovery Center, to speak about the marijuana legalization measure (Prop. 19) on the state ballot. While conceding that the war on drugs had failed, the nation’s top drug official stated that legalizing marijuana was not the answer.
Per the LA Times:
“Kerlikowske also released an analysis showing that 47% of Californians receiving treatment for marijuana abuse are younger than 18, compared with 28% in the rest of the nation, and that 65% began using marijuana at 14 or younger, compared with 55% for the rest of the nation. It’s the second time in a week that his office has highlighted data from previously released reports about drug use among young people, a critical issue for mothers, who are thought to be the swing vote.”
