DRUG POLICY MUST NOT WORSEN THINGS
Neal R. Peirce makes a sobering argument for us to try a new approach
to our country's drug problem ("End the drug war," Star-Advertiser,
July 5).
History taught us that Prohibition was effective only in pushing an
illegal product's manufacture, distribution and the collection of its
revenues underground -- and into the hands of vicious criminals.
Do we honestly think that is where it belongs?
