PROHIBITION OF DRUGS WILL NEVER SUCCEED
The letter recently published comparing the Prohibition of alcohol and drugs
is right on target.
Until we remove the $250 billion profit per year from the drug scene,
we will have no progress toward its reduction.
Until all drugs are made noncriminal, medical, and free, it will only
get worse. All of the crime is because of the amount of money in drugs.
Drug rehab costs $10,000 (1997 costs per year per the attached) and at
least $25,000 (again 1997 costs) per year to keep a drug offender in
jail. I prefer fewer drug addicts, but really prefer their having the
opportunity for free medical treatment or continuing their habit at
our expense no charge so the entire money and criminal element is
eliminated.
