U.S. IS GOOD EXAMPLE OF HOW NOT TO WAGE WAR ON DRUGS
Re: MPs demand a drug czar, Nov. 19.
I disagree that Canada has no one to measure the success of your war on
drugs. You have the United States, whose drug policy has been a total disaster.
No other nation has spent more of its resources fighting drug abuse nor
arrested more of its citizens for drug law violations than the United
States. Yet no other nation has been less successful in solving its
drug-abuse problems.
My advice to Canadians: Carefully observe U.S. drug policy, then do the
opposite. Don't follow us -- we're lost.
