LEGAL DRUGS CAN BE CONTROLLED

I'm writing about "Meth cleanup ordinance approved" on Sept.
29.

If Desoxyn, the legal pharmaceutical form of methamphetamine were
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.

Recreational drugs are far too dangerous to be completely unregulated
and controlled by criminals.

Only legal products can be regulated by our government. Only legal
products can be taxed by our government. And only legal products can
be controlled 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.
