DRUG VIOLENCE ON OUR DOORSTEP

The crime, corruption and overdose deaths attributed to illegal drugs
are invariably the results of drug prohibition. With alcohol
prohibition repealed, liquor bootleggers no longer gunned each other
down in violent turf battles. Drug prohibition funds organized crime
at home and terrorism abroad, which is then used to justify increased
drug-war spending. It's time to end this madness and instead treat all
substance abuse, legal or otherwise, as the public-health problem it
is.
