WRITER DREW WRONG CONCLUSIONS
All the social ills cited by Mr. Harrison [Letters, "Symbols Won't
Defeat Drugs; Try Courage," June 15] are the result of the prohibition
of illegal drugs - not the drugs. If drugs were regulated and taxed,
and those who [need treatment] were treated, these social ills would
be greatly reduced.
When was the last time alcohol caused the cited problems? I think you
will find that it was when alcohol prohibition was the law of the land.
