I only knew Nicholas Saunders through his work. His untimely death is a tragedy, his work influenced many and helped many to understand what they were doing. Nicholas Saunders did more for drug education than any individual ever has. He will be greatly missed.
Nicholas was always concerned with media bias. I think we should consider this,
When Princess Diana died, the media went crazy. We heard nothing else in the media for days.
Nicholas Saunders did as much good work as Diana, but in a different way..... and do we see constant reports in the media of his good work? no, because he was a drug user with an interest in an alternative society and that the media bias is greatly evident.
Those who know of Nicholas and his work.... NEVER FORGET what he did. As a memorial, we should let people know of his work and inform the uninformed. Follow in his footsteps if you can. We need more role models like him.
