VANSTERDAM

DEAR EDITOR:

Thanks for Miriam Jacobson's enlightening Real Gone article concerning
Vancouver and the civilized methods it is employing to overcome the cancer
that is the "Drug War" ["Reefer Madness," August 13-19]. It proves once
again that the war isn't about drugs, but about the individuals and acronyms
who are making a financial killing by promoting this terrible war.
