REGULATE DRUGS, DON'T BAN THEM
Re: "Drug plan is good but it has flaws" (Editorial, Oct. 9).
Insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting a
different result.
The only way you can control an activity is to legalize it. Should
these activities be legal, money generated by these services could be
used to prevent abuses. The criminal bodies attached to these
activities would vanish. I can think of a better use of our legal
system and our law enforcement officers than drug offences. Can you?
Drugs and prostitution will not disappear, so let's face reality.
Let's do with drugs and prostitution what we are doing with
cigarettes and alcohol.
