Drugs in our community the horrors of using, selling, and buying. How do we stop this madness?

Drug abuse and addiction in our community seems to cause things to be lost that we never get back. Where did we go wrong? How do we address this issue or do we once again sit and wait for something else to restore us to sanity. We know more today then we ever knew about this problem. Are we going to sit back in the cut and hope that it just go away, or act responsible and pool from the wealth of knowledge that we have in our communities.
