REGULATION OF RECREATIONAL DRUGS SOUGHT

I'm writing about: "Police uncover 14th meth lab" (10-21-04).

If Desoxyn, the legal pharmaceutical form of methamphetamine was
legally available to adults without a prescription in local pharmacies
for pennies per dose, would we have illegal clandestine meth labs
throughout the nation? I don't think so.

It seems to me that recreational drugs like meth are far too dangerous
to be completely unregulated and controlled by criminals.

Only legal products can be regulated, controlled and taxed by our
government.

Alcohol prohibition didn't stop people from buying and drinking
alcohol. It just stopped people from buying their alcohol from legal,
regulated and taxed sources.

And our drug prohibition policies are not stopping people from buying
and using recreational drugs. It's just stopping them from buying
their drugs from legal, regulated and taxed sources.

For the sake of the children, please regulate and control the sale of
recreational drugs.
