Reaction to May 7 editorial regarding legalizing drugs

DRUG PROHIBITION DOESN'T WORK

Dear editor:

Alcohol prohibition of course did not work and was repealed not
because we want people to consume the hard, addictive and destructive
drug, alcohol, but because we learned prohibition just created violent
gangs that could care less what they sold to the alcohol-consuming
public.

I fully support the Holy Smoke and their actions to reduce the evil
and harms caused by hard addictive drugs. We will never be able to
stop humankind from consuming them if they so desire, centuries of
history has shown that as solid fact.

The Holy Smoke people are nothing short of serious
heroes.

In fact it is time I send them a donation today.
