OUR WAR ON AMERICANS

(Re: Promises are cheap; just ask Midtown, by Mary Jo
Melone, Dec. 8)

Thank you, Ms. Melone, for pointing out another insane aspect to our
war on drugs, a.k.a. war on Americans. If Jeb Bush was telling us
about it, he would assure us that there was more money this year.

It is amazing that we don't offer drug treatment at the very least to
those who volunteer and desire to get well.

If we taxed and regulated cannabis (marijuana), there would be plenty
of money to treat people who have addictions to serious drugs that are
harmful. What are we thinking in America with all these wars on
innocent people?
