LETTER OF THE WEEK

DRUG PROHIBITION

By Kirk Muse

The United States' drug-prohibition policies are like a broken sewer
pipe that's not only flooding and stinking up our own home, but our
neighbors' homes as well.

The solution is not to use more mops and buckets of law enforcement,
but rather to fix the broken sewer pipe of drug prohibition.

Law enforcement didn't get rid of the alcohol cartels. Ending
alcohol prohibition got rid of the alcohol cartels, and the violence
and corruption that went with them.
