DEFEATED IN THE DRUG WAR

Barry McCaffrey is making a big assumption when he says that "drug
legalization" is "condoning drugs." He fails to recognize the possibilities
that can be explored for "managing drugs" that would replace the failed
"drug prohibition" he claims is the only way to handle addictive drugs.

As to the "question of risk" to society, wouldn't society benefit if we
stopped the violence produced by illegal-drug lords who now benefit greatly
from "uncontrolled prohibited" drugs?
