DRUG LAWS CREATE CRIMINAL CLASS

As a retired police officer, I know that drug dealers accept, as a
condition of employment, risk of death and long prison terms.

A recent letter writer's idea that making Florida's prisons into
hellholes would deter criminals is naive.

Drug dealers only exist because of the prohibition on
narcotics.

Will we ever be as wise as our grandparents, who abandoned the
prohibition of alcohol, and end this failed and futile approach to
drugs?
