THE ANSWER IS LEGALIZATION
To the editor:
I'm writing about the not-so-thoughtful column from Michael Cook: "Blood
on the hands of drug users" (Jan. 27).
Caffeine is a drug, yet we have absolutely no crime related to it.
Why? Because it is legal.
Nicotine is a drug, yet we have almost no crime related to it. Why?
Because it is legal.
If we were to criminalize either of these products, the situation
would soon change.
