ANTIDRUG LAWS FUTILE

To the editor:

The death of RCMP Const. Joseph Luc Francois Carriere is yet another
sacrifice to the futility of drug prohibition. It's time to realize that
the more we pursue the Puritan delusion of a "drug free" society the worse
societal conditions will become.

The loss of Joseph Carriere and a hundred more good men like him will not
rectify the error of a braindead drug policy that causes a hundred times as
much trouble as the drugs themselves.

It's time to end drug prohibition!
