END DRUG-WAR FLOP
The original Prohibition - of alcoholic beverages - was an abysmal
failure, and the sequel is worse. America is hungry for honest
politicians ("An opportunity for Edwards to lead," by Michael D.
Cutler, Commentary, Aug. 6) to oppose the so-called war on drugs.
Other political leaders who fit the description are Ohio's Dennis
Kucinich and Texas's Ron Paul. At the very minimum America must
re-legalize cannabis and regulate it like alcohol. Murder rates
decreased for 10 years after the repeal of the original Prohibition
and there's reason to believe ending the sequel will have similar effects.
