PORT ANGELES — Just say no — to uncreative drug prevention efforts.

That’s the message Washington Lt. Gov. Brad Owen and former legislator the Rev. Rodger McDaniel of Wyoming conveyed to the audience at a methamphetamine prevention conference Thursday.

Owen, Gov. Gary Locke’s second-in-command, opened the final day of the two-day Working Together Against Methamphetamine symposium at Olympic Vineyard Christian Fellowship Church in Port Angeles by calling for a sustained and well-funded effort against all illicit drugs.

“We can’t focus on a single substance,” Owen said. “We have to address all drugs. Every mind-altering drug needs to be given serious and immediate attention.”
