DRUG MONEY
Re: "Drugs blamed in holdups of Lethbridge cabbies," Oct. 5.
Your headline should have read: "Drug prohibition blamed in holdups."
Prohibition hugely inflates the price of drugs that would otherwise cost
relatively little. End prohibition, and you will end the need to commit
robberies for money to buy drugs. Not only will cab drivers be safer, but
we could use the criminal justice funds we save to treat drug problems as
they should be treated, as a health and social issue.
