		<description><![CDATA[I guess so. Not a lot of the articles I read discussed his attitudes towards drugs specifically, but that&#039;s the gist I got from &quot;he doesn&#039;t believe in addiction.&quot;

That&#039;s kind of a general issue with the way drugs are taught, though, where they teach that kids who start doing drugs are kids with problems or who are too weak to stand up for themselves or something, as opposed to some people just having more of a predilection for addiction than others, and there being signs of that (like a kid who spends an abnormal amount of time on any one activity may be more susceptible to drugs).

(I do think we specifically need to address more the fact that ANYONE can be a drug-user, even people who are otherwise responsible and healthy - because I think one way that a lot of kids get into drugs is they&#039;re told that drugs are only used by shadowy boogeymen or by irresponsible &quot;burnouts,&quot; and then they see the honor student doing a bad drug and they think &quot;Wow! If Johnny Valedictorian is a druggie, they must not really be that bad, right?&quot;)]]></description>
