WAY TO HANDLE DRUGS IS TO LEGALIZE THEM

Re Meth use on the rise, Story, March 11

Let's assume for the moment that those who are demonizing meth are not
lying about it as is done with respect to other illegal drugs.

If users were free to purchase clean, cheap, quality-tested marijuana,
cocaine, heroin etc. at the corner store, why would anyone bother with
such an awful drug as meth? In any event, who's to say that most of
the harm done by meth is caused by adulterants in the drug and that
when the drug is produced legally by knowledgeable and reliable
people, it will be much less harmful?

The best way to reduce the harm and heartbreak of illegal drugs is to
legalize them.
