U.S. ADRIFT ON POT

Mesa, Ariz. -- Re U.S. Warns Against Liberalizing Laws On Pot (Oct. 2): U.S.
drug czar John Walters should be seeking drug-policy advice, not giving it.
No other nation has spent more of its resources on fighting drug abuse nor
imprisoned more of its citizens for drug-law violations than the United
States. Yet no other nation has been less successful in solving its drug
problems.

Taking advice from U.S. drug warriors is like taking financial counselling
from a squeegee man. My advice to Canada: Observe U.S. drug policy, then do
the opposite. Don't follow us -- we're lost.
