LEGALIZE DRUGS TO FIGHT CRIME

Editor:

The prohibition of a drug, including alcohol, causes crimes of murder,
robbery, enticing young people to use drugs, etc. The lawmakers were smart
enough to legalize alcohol, but not smart enough to legalize the rest of
the drugs.

There are many serious problems associated with alcohol, but when it was
legalized, the murders and robberies stopped. There would only be half as
many felonies if drugs were legalized.

Because there is an extremely high profit in illegal drugs, the so- called
war on drugs can't be won, the same way it couldn't be won against alcohol.

People are using drugs, and they are going to keep using them. Legalize
drugs and get rid of the murders, robberies and enticing young children to
use drugs.
