DRUG POLICY TO BLAME FOR HOME INVASION

Re: "Invaders storm the wrong house," The Leader, Dec. 1.

It's hard to decide which "wrong house" raid is the greater cause for
alarm - home invaders intent on stealing marijuana or ninja-clad
drug warriors intent on arresting marijuana users.

Either way, law-abiding citizens can end up seriously injured, or
dead.

All over a common weed less harmful than alcohol, tobacco, caffeine or
even aspirin.

More people die in a single year from botched drug raids and home
invasions than have died in all recorded history from actually using
marijuana. By a factor of dozens to zero. Marijuana prohibition is the
cure that is worse than the disease.

Legalize, regulate, tax, control. For the safety of law-abiding
households.
