DRUG POLICY EXACERBATES NATION'S DRUG PROBLEMS

Kudos to David Lefkowitz for his thoughtful letter regarding drug
legalization. Every commission empaneled in the past century has
recommended a drug policy much different from what we have today.

Our "tough-on-crime" politicians, backed by a drug-abuse industrial
complex hungry for our tax dollars for programs and grants, more or
less exacerbate the drug war and solve little.

The real truth of the internecine relationship of guns, money and
drugs worldwide may be that they can only be reined in through drug
regulation and treatment, no matter what testimony the drug-abuse,
law-enforcement, prison industrial complex provides our elected
officials and the double-talk we get as a result.

Cui bono?
