- <p> Experts have long contended that the best way to win the war
- on drugs is to reduce demand for illegal substances. Last week
- a study by the University of Michigan indicated that drug use
- is diminishing--at least among high school seniors. Only 2.8%
- of seniors polled admitted using cocaine during the previous
- month. The best news is that antidrug education programs appear
- to be taking hold. Last year 54.9% of the seniors said they
- believed sampling cocaine only once or twice is risky. Three
- years ago, only 33.5% thought so.
