ACCESSIBLE DRUGS COULD REDUCE CRIME
Re: Drug addicts don't need pity (Letters, April 21)
Perhaps letter writer Roel Hurkens and his fellow prohibitionists
could consider this: if drug addicts could get their pain killers,
either prescription or non-prescription, at the drug store or liquor
store like the rest of the population, they might not commit crimes
worth $350,000 a year.
They might even be able to work if they weren't spending all their
time begging, stealing or selling themselves to feed their habits.
