RE "STARK raving mad" (Editorial, May 20): My position has always been
that people will find a way to bend their minds one way or another.
Whenever I've been in an argument with an anti-drug zealot, we have
been ingesting alcohol - so? What's the difference?

In the far north, where pills and pot are not readily available,
youths sniff glue and gasoline. So where there's a will, there's a
way. We can chase pot growers, pill-makers etc. from here to eternity
and there will always be a product available. Spend money on
education, not trying to chop every pot plant or flush every pill -
you'll never win this war that way!
