Drugs Problems Critical by Lloyd Bentsen in North Texas
Dr Bentsen discusses a rising national drug problem with emphasis on teen marijuana use and the need for a twofold approach. He proposes cutting heroin supply by restricting aid to drug-producing nations and boosting education and treatment programs for addicts and youth, plus expanding research and enforcement. He also mentions Vietnam service members' drug use and calls for military and Veterans Affairs actions, including halting the Fort Worth Narcotics Treatment Center transfer to the Bureau of Prisons and seeking Veterans Administration leadership. The piece blends political address with local notes on community figures and past local stories.
