WOULD BE ALIVE TODAY IF HE READ ALT.DRUGS Date: 13 Nov 93 03:31:51 GMT RIVER PHOENIX WOULD BE ALIVE TODAY IF HE HAD READ ALT.DRUGS If he had been an alt.drugs subscriber, River would have known better than to take heroin, cocaine, *valium*, and ephedrine all at once. If his parents had known something about drugs they could have warned him as a child. If his friends had known something about drugs they could have warned him that day. If the television ads had only told him about the dangerous effects of valium, a legal drug, there's a good chance we would have seen him on the movie screens again. If the DARE officer who probably taught in his high-school drug-ed class had actually known something about drugs, then River might have believed him when he said not to mix some drugs. As it is, he probably told River that pot kills brain cells and would make hair grow on his palms. This country needs REAL DRUG EDUCATION, not more PDFA BULL. We need to DARE to actually know something about drugs, because what you don't know, CAN hurt you.
