WHAT THE DRUG WAR NEEDS
Doug Bandow of the Cato Institute and former special assistant to
Ronald Reagan has written a most sensible opinion piece on drug
prohibition ("The Robert Downey Jr. problem," Dec. 11).
It takes moral courage to stand up against a policy was falsely sold
to us as upholding morality. The evidence is completely overwhelming,
however: The drug war itself is a far greater evil than the social and
health problems it promised to solve.
