DRUG PROHIBITION SPURS VIOLENCE
Re: "Ban cigarettes or legalize drugs (Letters, Jan. 27). As a
retired police officer, I believe Georges Plourde's assessment is
correct. The prohibition of drugs does encourage the growth and
development of gangs with their violence and death.
It is indeed puzzling why Ottawa is a fan of this policy.
Washington's reason is simple. They are unable to say the three
hardest words in English: We were wrong.
