LEGALIZE DRUGS THEIR CRIME SOLUTION

Re Drugs in our society, (Express May 4)

How can Bob Mills be so asleep to the fact that it is the prohibition of
drugs that is causing all the problems, not the drugs themselves?

Please spare us the relentless ignorance of the media.

Crime and drugs would not be as closely intertwined if our government, to
speak of another institution seemingly run by ignoramuses, had not decided
to make certain drugs illegal.

If tomatoes were banned, we would presently be inundated with thousands of
home-based tomato grow-ops. If waffles were banned, the cops would be
unable to cope with a 'rising tide' of waffle crime.

Want to reduce crime? Legalize all drugs.

Want to fix the grow-op problem? Legalize marijuana.

Want to fix "the needle problem"? Legalize all drugs.

Want to save lives? Legalize all drugs.

Want to reduce costs? Legalize all drugs.

Want to reduce corruption? Legalize all drugs.

Want to reduce the spread of disease? Legalize all drugs.
