RE-LEGALIZED ALL OF OUR ILLEGAL DRUGS

I'm writing about Jeremy Loome's outstanding column: "Drug prohibition
doesn't work."

If Canada and the United States re-legalized all of our illegal drugs
so that they could be sold by licensed and regulated businesses for
pennies per dose it would dramatically reduce our crime rate and
increase public safety. We can't eliminate drug problems but can
substantially reduce the harm caused by drugs because they'd be of a
known potency.

What message would we send to children? It would be the same message
we send to children today when we allow products such as alcohol and
tobacco to be sold in licensed, regulated and taxed businesses. A free
country's government cannot protect its adult citizens from themselves.
