You know, it has just occurred to me that people might dramatically change their views (away from the Larry Campbell way of thinking) if, in all discussions, the term "[illegal] drugs" was replaced with the word "poison".<BR/><BR/>Look at how dramatically a simple sentence is changed:<BR/><BR/>1. We support the adoption of facilities to reduce the harm of using drugs.<BR/><BR/>2.
