PROHIBITION FAILED, WAR ON DRUGS IS FAILING, CHANGE THE GAME PLAN
In response to "Decades-long U.S. drug war lags on goals" (May 16 The
Big Picture):
The U.S. war on drugs has failed to eliminate the importation and use
of recreational drugs, just as Prohibition failed to stop the
importation and use of alcohol. It's time for a new strategy.
We legalized alcohol and control its use today, even with the problems
still associated with it. Society has learned to accept it and deal
with it. Why wouldn't the same strategy work for recreational drugs?
