NO-ONE'S LEARNED THE ERROR OF PROHIBITION
LETTER-WRITER Hugh Robertson is correct when he states that it took
the US Government ten years to realise its mistake and repeal
Prohibition, The Noble Experiment. But here we are at the beginning of
the 21st century and almost no government has learned, including the
US, that prohibition of drugs doesn't work and is worse than the
disease it tries to stop.
At least, during alcohol Prohibition there were 'medical' and
'religious' exceptions. Not so here in the Land of the Free in 1998.
