DECADES OF DRUG WAR LEAVE STREETS UNSAFE
As a retired police detective and student of history, I believe the
only way to "clean up" Orchard Mews of the violence associated with
the drug trade is to end the prohibition of drugs ("Two sides of the
street, but one problem bedeviling both," Jan. 25).
After 40 years of drug war, we still have large parts of Baltimore and
many other major cities in America that are more dangerous than the
streets in Iraq. This madness of prohibition has not produced one
positive outcome. So why are we still on this failed road?
