WE'RE LOSING DRUG WAR

All of the "straw man" arguments supporting the drug war do not remove
the fact it is not working and is costing more in money, lives and
civil liberties each year.

Steve Johnson is wrong in his July 3 letter "Not A Victimless Crime."
We need look no further than Prohibition to find the reason why those
addicted females turned to prostitution or gangsters shoot it out.

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 or drug war
cheerleaders to spout.
