Drug facts and alcohol facts are not that simple. It is a sad truth that some people's lives can become a misery through addiction. This article has no intention of denying or minimizing that severity. Nevertheless there is a considerable amount of misinformation presented as drug and alcohol facts and we are going to try and correct that mis-information.

"The current environment is so polluted with hysteria that nothing rational can happen to solve the drug problem. Until we're able to get the facts into perspective and debunk the myths, we're just not going to make progress and effectively deal with these issues."
