LETTER OF THE WEEK

U.S. NOT A GOOD EXAMPLE

Regarding Gwynne Dyer's column, America's war on drugs mindless ( Sept. 11 ).

Finally I've read an article with some common sense when it comes to
individual use of illegal drugs. Humans have been altering their
mental states for eons and will continue to do so. Education,
scientific facts and responsibility usually modify the individual's
use of drugs.

There will always be a small percentage of the population that cannot
control their addictions. Locking people up in jail will never solve
that problem. The U.S. is proving to be a good example of what not to do.
