ADDICTED TO MYTHS
It would appear that newspapers are more addicted to perpetuating
myths about drugs than telling the truth. "Pot use sky-high," Dec.
27.) The worst of these myths is that the prohibition of drugs has
any social benefit at all, for actually it exacerbates the very
problems it is supposedly designed to combat. But don't take it from
me, please do your research before you parrot the "findings" of
prohibition-oriented institutions.
