FAILED WAR ON DRUGS
Thank you for publishing Debra J. Saunders' informative and
fascinating piece regarding our failed drug policies ("Huge crack in
system of drug prosecution," Thursday). The column pointed out what
the media and politicians have for long been largely afraid to: The
war on drugs makes absolutely no sense, is counterproductive and is so
overwhelmingly racist.
We have progressed so far in this country in such a short time, but
the sad fact is our draconian, racist and archaic drug laws have
hardly changed.
