COFFEE 'THERAPY'

Kudos to Robert Rutan for his outstanding March 9 letter, Drug data skewed.
I'd like to note that we have nobody in therapy for coffee addiction. This
would soon change if we removed coffee from the legitimate market and
criminalized it.

Not only would we have thousands in treatment, we would soon have coffee
lords, coffee cartels and coffee-related crime. Coffee would be untaxed,
unregulated and controlled by criminal gangs -- just like marijuana and
other recreational drugs are today.
