LEGALIZE IT

That was a fine article ("Vice Squad," Aug. 31) about the failed "Drug
War." Most drugs are bought in drugstores anyway, let's let ALL of
them get bought there. In [an instant] we would take most the violence
out of the USA. And even disarm all those terrorists who buy their
guns with illegal drug sales. We could make the Afghan farmers really
rich & the Colombians could be set free of their drug lords. Not to
mention all the poor slobs in jail we could set free for doing little
else than drugging. We could save billions of dollars & millions of
people.
