KEEP PUSHING FOR METHADONE

Regarding Thursday's article "Orange jail alters policy on
methadone": Rich Crotty and Ron McAndrew sound like pragmatic and
compassionate men. I hope they keep pushing for methadone in the
jails. An addict should not have to die just for his/her stupidity in
becoming addicted.

Some day our descendants will look back on the 21st century and
wonder how their ancestors could have been so blind as to spend
hundreds of billions of dollars in a destructive holy war to repress
some drugs while rewarding the purveyors of other equally destructive
drugs.
