A DESPERATE REMEDY

THERE is an old saying: Desperate ills need desperate cures.

There is one way to get the drug traffickers off the street and that is to
put them out of business.

We have lost our corner stores because they no longer make money. The
supermarkets give better service and offer cheaper prices.

The pushers will go out of business if they no longer make a profit from
their sales.

The Government has to go into the drug business.

Make drugs available on the medical scheme at a cheap price, available on a
doctors prescription, no questions asked.

Once the profit goes, the pushers go.

I can envisage the shock, horror, of our upright citizens.

But once the pushers go the figures for drug takers will fall.

A desperate remedy for a desperate ill.
