Just substitute "alcohol" for "drugs" in your excellent editorial (18
August) and it's all too easy to show further the stupidity of the
whole war on drugs. Your description of the desperate consequences of
this ludicrous "war", including turf wars, gangland killings and
drive-by shootings, exactly mirrors the Capone reign of terror in
prohibition-era America. Past time, as you say, to abandon this failed
prohibition - as was done over alcohol, belatedly, in the US in 1933
after untold harm had been caused.
