Mathea Falco for Drug Czar!

This book provides a middle option to either more drug interdiction or legalization of drugs.We need to deal with the demand for drugs in America because these drugs can be made locally,in spite of drug controls. This book also challenges the quick fix of drug legalization because the age restrictions for these drugs would still create a black market and the drugs would have to be free to defeat any illegal drug dealers.But, the most important issue is that the American people have the ability and the ideas to deal with the problems feeding a drug habit.Mathea Falco has given us a blueprint for a better War on Drugs!

parents can learn how to protect their children from drugs

Crichton and Falco present clear, easy to understand suggestions for preventing drug use among our children. Every parent, every teacher, every concerned citizen can benefit from this inspiring account of drug programs that make a real difference. At a time when society is saturated with alcohol and tobacco advertising and growing acceptance of illicit drugs, this book tells us how to teach our kids to resist. This is a must read for all Americans who care about our country's future.

Parent or policy maker, this book is a "must read"!

Falco is not a politician. She is a practical visionary who understands that you cannot solve a problem by avoiding it. I was especially impressed by her sections on what we, as individuals, can do to help our children and our society overcome this deadly threat. She does not preach. She reaches out for answers
