They , are now . enrolled in a university and both are associated with a successful arug program.) _____ * This is the first article of a( serip^ ^p?hng wi{h drug abuse and addiction, the rehabilitation process, and most significantly, the greater negative prevailing conditions of which drug abuse and addiction are more superficial manifestations. The column will deal with four specific aspects that influence public consciousness concerning drugs. These four aspects are drug definition, drug effects, drug related behavior, and the drug experience. - ' Our ultimate goal is to enlighten our readers to the many positive and productive outlets available for sustaining a viable life as opposed to vthe negative orientation ot drug abuse and addiction. The average citizen in our society * feels very helpless in terms of having some- input into / those decisions that affect his or N her life. The economic situation is S bleaks wages are remaining constant while prices are rising, l^evailintf conditions demand more of our time to deal with survival needs. Once \ye begin to cf survival, we simiStaneously have to make certain mental adjustments. Very often making the_artjiist.ments necessary for survival may be a traumatic experience. . It is a neglected fact that all of us will be constantly undergoing change to keep pace with the leritands of life. How we interpret and cope with these .changes are of paramount vomern. ' In our attempts to cope with the pressures of life, we all form various superficial human dependencies. Drug^se is one of the more prevalent aspects of the human dependencies; often stemming from a reaction to the anxieties produced by rapid * hange.. ?

However, the most striking statistics were Tiling with abusers of legal or prescription drug?. There were nearly 41,000 users of legal dFtigs obtained without a prescription, but did not use the drug as prescribed. The most widely used aDused ot tnose legal drugs were relaxants or minor tranquilizers 'and barbituates. The largest single group of regular users of minor tranquilizers are unemployed females; 50 per cent of whom: are housewives. According to the study the most likely to abuse barbituates are typically age 50 and above and unemployed; We are not attempting to focus A! 1 on one particular group or class, but to simply show how drugs, leg?l and illegal, have been commonly accepted by a cross section of our ^population as a" means of coping. Regardless of how ijinocent our initial usuage may - be, dependencies are formed in this manner in many cases. It must be pointed that most of the illegal drugs are used by the young. Most of the legal drugs are abused hy older people with more responsibility than the younger age group. Due to most ' of the publicity received because of arrest and detectability, the of attention. Consequently, the abusers of legal drugs have been left to suffer with their indulgence. In future articles we will carefully examine fvery drug commonly used; legal and illegal, and the class or.group primarily affected by each specific drug. It is hoped that we may offer many new insights into the many, itigatinu conditions leading to drug dependency and also project practical and viable alternatives to this menacing problem that affects such a large percentage of our population; young and old, rich and poor. iston-Salem C Subscription Blanl 'od, we are reducing 01 )ne year - - - '8.00 No* >0 Offer Good Until No % WINSTON-SALEM CHROP der to- p o- BOX 3154 ' WINSTON-SALEM, N.C.
