Clarke County High School Drug Debate Stokes Conflicting Views
Clarke officials downplay a drug problem while a science class survey suggests widespread usage. A 16 year old girl reports pot, LSD and heroin presence with 75 percent of students having tried marijuana and about 15 regular dealers among 550 students.
