DRUG USER ABUSE MUST BE STOPPED
Editor:
I am grateful to your correspondent, Paul Wilkinson (Letters,Jan.26) for
reminding us that possessing a Ph.D. degree is no guarantee that you do not
occasionally talk through your hat.
If the Canadian government's brutal pogrom to punish innocent drug users is
"laissez-faire", then Hitler was a libertarian.
Unfortunately, drug prohibition is supported by many educated ignoramuses
such as Dr.Wilkinson, thereby forcing us to re-learn the terrible lessons
of alcohol prohibition all over again.
To paraphrase Hegel, "We learn from history that we do not learn from
history".
