DRUGS SHOULD BE LEGALIZED

Thank you for publishing "Time To Repeal Drug Prohibition" on Nov 1. 
Mr Hess' piece clearly describes why and how drug prohibition is 
hurting nations all over the globe.

Most of this so-called "War on Drugs" is headed by my own federal 
government here in the United States, and as an American citizen I am 
ashamed of the actions of my leaders.

I hope that Japan has the foresight and independence to try its own 
approaches to the issue of drug abuse, rather than blindly following 
the lead of the U.S. government.
