PRESS PERPETUATES DRUG WAR

Re "Rented apartment went entirely to pot, court told," (Nov. 22):
Unless and until newspapers such as yours begin to include in their
drug stories a recognition of the fact that many feel the war on
drugs is a failure, the main source of funds for terrorists,
unconstitutional, and a state-sanctioned pogrom designed to ruin the
lives of the innocent few who happen to enjoy certain drugs, this
appalling program will continue much longer than it should.

There is no more reason to punish drug users and dealers today than
there was in the past to hang witches, lynch blacks or gas Jews.

(We'd find the pro-pot lobby easier to stomach if they didn't indulge
in such overblown comparisons)
