MISGUIDED DRUG LAWS
* Re " 'Twas Ever Thus That Man Chooses His Own Poison," Commentary, March
11: Robert Scheer presents a lucid justification for treating the drug
"problem" with the same reasoning as the alcohol "problem." Emotional
projections blur the differences. The solution seems simple. Punish the
person who commits a crime using drugs the same as the person who commits a
crime using alcohol. Stop punishing victimless crimes.
