Abstract:

Charles Dunn, Director of the State Bureau of Investigation, discusses the scope of the drug problem in North Carolina. The illegal possession and misuse of drugs is a growing problem, not only of law enforcement, but of all those concerned with the health and well-being of people. Dunn, citing examples, says the only hope of curbing drug abuse lies in the home, the church, the school and the community.

Abstract:

One-fourth, or around 1,900 of North Carolina's over 8,100 AIDS cases, are the result of drug users exchanging dirty needles. The Institute of Medicine, a national think tank, proposes a needle-exchange program, whereby drug users can turn in used needles for clean ones. The program is not without its critics, who cite giving drug users drug paraphernalia. There are 100 exchange programs nationwide. North Carolina's only program is in Asheville.
