DRUG BUST SERVES NO REAL PURPOSE

Re: Record pot bust made at local hotel, Oct. 30

I see that prohibition is working as well as it always has.

When will we understand the most effective way to reduce the harm and
heartbreak of illegal drugs is to end drug prohibition?

When will we understand that punishing people who sell or use some
harmful recreational drugs while leaving alone those who sell or use
other harmful recreational drugs can have no other logical purpose
than to entertain the majority by persecuting an innocent minority?

Perhaps not until the media can be persuaded to stop serving up
one-sided propaganda pieces such as this to support this shameful program.

Hitler showed the way and our politicians and media are merely
goose-stepping along in his path.
