NO PROFIT, NO TURF WARS

West Vancouver -- You say in your editorial One Metropolis, One
Police Force (April 7) that there "is no immediate solution" to gang
violence and their turf wars over the drug trade.

Legalizing drugs, making them a medical issue rather than a criminal
one, would largely terminate gang activity in the Lower Mainland by
cutting off the supply of money.

Perhaps it's time to repeat history, instead of ignoring it, and
learn a lesson from what happened when Prohibition ended in the U.S.
