a question and answer dia dialogue ¬ logue with a group of mostly high school and university stu students ¬ dents aged between 14 and 25 the prime minister made it clear they had a freedom of choice but his choice would be that they shouldnt use drugs I respect the freedom of other people to do most of the things they want to do he told the gathering in the Whltehorse elementary school Taking drugs Is a form of getting high not that different from taking alcohol Dont dig it I personally do not believe in intoxication I dont dig It he said to a burst of applause but I respect the freedom of others to do many of the things they want to do This is still a form of escape whether It be from al alcohol ¬ cohol marijuana hash or the harder stuff The prime minister said that young people should try and get their kicks from within you from the scenery events of the outside world and travel and music It was the people who are old and 40 or more like me who might want to look at other means to create their owr par adlse But rather than putting chem lcals Into their bodies the younger generation should do their own thing the other way I wouldnt think very much of a kid who has to take a shot or attending a big dinner If you are young 15 to 20 hell there are so many exciting things to do in the world People who get high on pot three or four times a week are the same people who complain about pol lutlon and they go about pollut polluting ¬ ing their own lungs The prime minister said he didnt Judge people who took drugs any differently than those who take alcohol It is their own
