Widespread drug
use only a myth?
By Don Oakley
Popular notions about the extent of drug use in this country
seem to be out of phase with the facts.
For the .past eight years, a team of researchers with the
University of Michigan’s Institute for Social Research has been
following a sample group of 1,600 males and recording their drug
experiences and attitudes. The study’s findings have consistently
run counter to popular beliefs, says its director Lloyd Johnston
“The findings we reported in 1970 did not reinforce public
opinion,’’ he says. “Drug use turned out to be far less prevalent
among young people than was commonly believed.”
Before graduating from high school in 1969, less than a quarter
of this age group had used any illicit drug, and about half of those
using drugs had merely experimented once or twice, usually with
marijuana.
Now the common belief seems to be that the problem of young
people using illicit drugs has declined considerably. The data,
however, “indicate that substantial proportions and absolute
numbers of young people are involved with drugs to some
degree.”
For example, in the year prior to June 1974, more than half of
all 23-year-old males (based on the study group) smoked some
marijuana, over one-fifth made some use of amphetamines
without a prescription and theproportions for barbiturates
cocaine and psychedelics were all greater than one-tenth.
The number who had tried these drugs at some time during
their lives was even higher: 62 per cent for marijuana, 32 per
cent for amphetamines, 19 per cent for barbiturates 22 per cent
for psychedelics and over 6 per cent for heroin.
On the positive side, observes, Johnston, much of the illicit
drug use involves marijuana, the harmful effects of which have
yet to be convincingly proven. About half of those youths using
each of the other illicit drugs during 1974 did so only once or
twice. Regular drug use rates seem to have peaked some time
ago for this particular age group.
The investigators asked their 23-year-old respondents whether
they would either begin using marijuana or use it more often if it
were legalized. Only 15 per cent indicated they would, while
another 11 per cent were uncertain. The amount of experience the
individual had with marijuana seemed to have practically no
effect upon his attitude.
Ironically, the older age groups may be most effected by any
changes in the marijuana laws, thinks Johnston, since most
young people already seem to have made their choice. Almost un-
iversally, they have had exposure and access to the drug, while
most older people have not.
Extinguishing fire threat
Fire is a serious threat to invalids, the aged and the disabled.
Not only do many of them live alone, some have the added
problem of living in structures which are vulnerable to fire
because of age and condition.
The Kansas City Fire Department has begun using a computer
to help locate such individuals. Its system stores nearly 400 ad-
dresses of invalids living in the city. When the fire alarm office
receives a call, a dispatcher employs a TV-like display unit link-
ed to the computer to check if an invalid lives at the address. If
to, the screen displays the person’s name, specific location in the
building and condition. Firemen know immediately which room
the disabled person is in and don’t waste precious minutes hun-
ting through a smoke-filled building.
The same system comes into play when a fireman is injured or
becomes ill on duty by flashing his blood type, allergies, personal
physician’s name and any other important information. The fire
alarm dispatcher then relays the information for treatment at
the scene. [

So Don’t Encourage the Spiral
We continue to read, from time to time, in the county press where some-
body left a door unlocked and his house was ransacked - and, not infrequent-
ly, burglars helped themselves to the available loot.
That, you may be sure, is just about the same as an invitation to crooks
to come on in and help yourself.
It's bad enough, these days, if the matter of locking is taken care of. But
when a thief finds an unlocked door in the home where he hopes to haul off
everything, then it's a sad state of affairs.
Yes, there's much encouragement about doors or windows being left un-
locked.
What's needed is quite the opposite - in other words, hold the crooks suc-
cess to a bare minimum...If you don't, you're encouraging the spiral.
