LEGALIZED DRUG USE ISSUE

Re: The article "Legalizing Drugs Not Answer" (A-J, 9-14).

Concerning the legalization of drugs in the Netherlands, the writer stated 
Amsterdam is a violent and squalid place because of legalized drug use. 
Hardly so. Amsterdam is a much safer place than Honolulu, London, LA or 
NYC. Maybe she was there when hooligan bullies from the UK were present for 
soccer matches or before the authorities ran out all of the illegals from 
the former Eastern Bloc and the Balkans.
