LEGALIZE DRUGS TO HELP SOCIETY

I couldn't agree with you more that the best way to minimize the harm
of drugs is knowledge.

The best way to ensure that users and those who may be contemplating
becoming users are fully informed about the properties of various
drugs is to legalize all drugs.

Legalization has other benefits too. Users will be able to purchase
cheap, clean, quality tested drugs, courts and jails would become
less jammed, organized crime's power would be weakened and the spread
of dangerous diseases such as AIDS and hepatitis would be severely
curtailed. Oh, yes, legalizing drugs would once more push law
enforcement back outside the boundaries defined by the Bill of Rights.

There is no more reason to punish drug users and dealers today than
there was in the past to hang witches, lynch blacks or gas Jews.
