METH TOO LETHAL A DRUG TO BE HANDLED BY HOODS

I'm writing about your March 23 editorial, "Meth dangers far outweigh
illogical claims of legalization."

Sorry to break the news to you, but meth is already legal. It's called
Desoxyn and is legally available in local pharmacies for less than $2
per dose, with a doctor's prescription.

I say sell it at local pharmacies without a prescription, and with no
questions asked, to any adult - just like we do with tobacco products.

Would we still have people addicted to meth? Yes. Would meth addicts
need to rob, steal or commit acts of prostitution in order to obtain
money to buy their meth? No.

Meth is far too dangerous to be completely unregulated and controlled
by criminals. We need to put the meth labs out of business the same
way we put the "bathtub gin" operations out of business in 1933.
