DRUG LEGALIZATION ILL ADVISED
The call to legalize and regulate drugs is no answer to the drug and
gang problems throughout our country. I suggest that, if we were to
go ahead with legalization, gangs would just find other ways to make
money. For example, I think they would likely target those who still
could not lawfully purchase the newly legalized drugs. In other
words, they'd simply turn to our children as their only source of
illegal drug sales.
