THERE'S A WAY TO CLEAN UP DRUG TRADE

Regarding the Star-Bulletin editorial, "Drug bust just one step in breaking
cycle," printed on Dec. 24: 

Regulating, thereby controlling, the illegal drug market would immediately
take most of the nasty street drugs out of the hands of petty thugs and
worldwide cartels. Is this really so difficult to understand? 

When the herb cannabis is cheaper than meth, would we have fewer people
using ice? Yep!

It really is time to take politics and other corruptions out of the drug
trade.

Peace on Earth!
