THE LURE OF COLD, HARD LUCRE

Reading "Pills brought in by 'army' of couriers" (Nov 27), I am reminded 
that no public policy can hope to compete with the lure of cold, hard cash. 
No matter how many troops are deployed at the border, the drugs will always 
get into the country somehow.

Fighting against it is a waste of Thailand's national resources. Legalise 
the drugs and create a regulated supply, and you will put the gangs out of 
business.
