LEGALIZING ECSTASY NO ANSWER

This letter is in response to Chris Buors' April 23 letter What a bummer,
Mahon.

Mr. Buors, you are an extremely irresponsible individual. Comparing lime
with ecstasy is inane and not at all funny, as I am sure you meant it to
be. Yes, drugs are inanimate objects. However, when they are ingested to
induce a high, they become dangerous.

I see the end results of addictions to various substances, including
alcohol, every day I step into work. For you to advocate legitimizing
illegal drugs is irresponsible. Rather than work to ensure people don't
become addicted or help those who are addicted, you would rather see them
remain addicted. Is this the attitude we as a society should adopt? Mr.
Buors, you are advocating that we take the easy way out and do nothing when
it comes to dealing with addictions to drugs.

Perhaps it's you who needs to sit on a pile of lime.
