PROHIBITION HASN'T BEEN AN EFFECTIVE ANTI-DRUG STRATEGY
As a retired Michigan police officer, your call for a harder fight in
the war on drugs made me chuckle.
After 35 years and a trillion dollars spent, 100,000 dead Americans
and 2 million in prison, drugs are cheaper, stronger and readily
available to kids.
The policy of drug prohibition has been and will always be an abject
failure. There is too much money to be made.
Legalize, regulate and tax the 10 illegal drugs. If you have a drug
problem one day, see a doctor.
