Bankrupt Society Seen Cause of Drug Problem
Banner reporter David Scribner warned that rising drug use among Bennington high school students signals societal bankruptcy rather than student fault. He spoke at a Rotary luncheon and outlined research showing 200 to 250 students have tried marijuana with about 50 regular users, noting drugs reach town via urban trips and ski areas. He urged viewing youths as seeking community through love, peace, and brotherhood rather than labeling them as sick or criminal.
