YOU MUST BE HIGH!
As a police officer, I know the futility and failure of drug prohibition.
Sheriff Al Cannon believes that the liberal notion that more police and
prisons (more government) can prevent people from putting things in their
mouths tells me he must be a rookie ("Legalize this," City Beat, Nov. 12).
Worse, his belief in prohibition causes our kids to grow up in a world
infested with drug dealers and their free samples. Prohibition sucks our
youth into criminality. I challenge sheriff Cannon to name one positive
outcome of prohibition.
