ARREST WRONG ONES

Re: Maybe we can punish the pushers, Oct. 16.

Here is my contribution to the debate about the role of law
enforcement in drugs policy that Kelly Roesler mentions. The role of
law enforcement regarding any and all drugs should be restricted to
arresting those who commit real crimes under the influence of a drug
and enforcing the laws restricting access to these drugs by persons
younger than 18.

Let's put an end to arresting people because they choose to ingest or
sell certain drugs. There is no more justification for punishing
those who ingest or sell certain drugs today than there was in the
past for hanging witches or lynching people on basis of skin colour.
