DRUG LAW REFORM

Regarding the article concerning South Carolinians for Drug Law
Reform: Regulating all drugs seems like a great idea. All the
violence during the Prohibition era has, of course, been recycled to
the drug trade.

Treatment for users would be so much better than jail time and a lot
cheaper for taxpayers. Fewer families would be broken up, and fewer
kids would be unsupervised. It would be a lot less grief for all.

The billions of dollars we have spent in the drug war seem to have
gone up someone's nose or up in smoke.

If you are against drug-law reform or regulating drug use, then you
are for the continuing violence, the disruption of families,
unsupervised children running the streets and the grief because drug
use won't stop just by sending someone to jail, to prison, or putting
them to death.

Treatment would help immensely.
