Prohibition the culprit rather than cannabis

To the editor,

It's disappointing that citizens don't realize it isn't drugs that
are causing problems (Drugs Top List Of Concerns For Safer Streets,
Mar. 6, 2007), but rather drug and cannabis plant prohibition, which
is the culprit. It is in the same way alcohol didn't cause the
problem during the original prohibition but rather alcohol
prohibition. For 10 years after the repeal of alcohol prohibition
murder rates decreased; there is reason to believe repealing the
sequel will yield the same results.

Further, why is The News failing to research and report this information?
