Comments on: Why Should Users Get a Free Pass on This? http://www.bizzyblog.com/2006/09/20/why-should-users-get-a-free-pass-on-this/ The Business End of the Blogosphere Sat, 10 Jan 2009 00:56:21 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.5 By: TBlumer http://www.bizzyblog.com/2006/09/20/why-should-users-get-a-free-pass-on-this/#comment-31182 TBlumer Wed, 20 Sep 2006 14:38:08 +0000 http://www.bizzyblog.com/2006/09/19/3101/#comment-31182 #1, I fully realize that reaching these people is difficult, but even trying this angle is, I believe, ruled out in the rehab community. I think it should be used. Also, it is a preventive issue for people who have not become users yet. I am not saying it will turn the tide, but it is an argument that should be in the mix, and I believe currently is not. If I recall correctly, there was some kind of attempt at a TV ad that made the association between drug use and funding crime and terror that was met with outrage a couple of years ago. The only outrage is that the argument isn\'t made more often. #1, I fully realize that reaching these people is difficult, but even trying this angle is, I believe, ruled out in the rehab community.
