OUR 'DREAM' WOULD BE TO LEGALIZE DRUGS

In an April 7 story, Globe-News reporter Jennifer Lutz wrote, "The heady 
days of bootlegging and moonshine vanished long ago, but remnants of 
Prohibition remain.

"In 1933, voters adopted the 21st Amendment, which repealed the ban on 
alcoholic beverages."

Maybe someday, somebody will write: "The heady decades of the Drug War 
vanished long ago, but remnants of prohibition remain. In 2033, voters 
adopted the 31st Amendment, repealing drug prohibition, but the Texas 
Narcotic Commission still has regulatory work to do."

We "have a dream," for the children, to put an end to the death, disease 
and incarceration caused by our nation's drug policy.
