The main argument of the editorial is that high authoritarian figures such as parents and teachers and other stake holders should treat teenagers as adults who are responssible for their choices. The author urges the stake holders to spread knowledge and awareness of the nature of drugs as a warning for the teenagers. The warnings supposedly would act as fear appeals that would eventually lead them to discard the idea of using drugs. He further elaborates by using the supply and demand theory. I do agree with his methodology since teenagers are old enough to make up their own my minds and decisions regarding this issue.
I would use Lexis Nexis to refer to any English written Newspaper articles of any date
