HEROIN PROHIBITION TRIGGERS CRIME

It is not the heroin that triggers crimes but the prohibition of heroin that
does that. ("Heroin to trigger crimes" Feb. 17.) Just as the legalization of
alcohol took Al Capone and his cronies out of the booze game, it's time to
take the drug cartels out of the drug business by legalizing drugs.
