LUNACY TO DECRIMINALIZE

Re "LETTERS to the Editor," by Debra Harper (Oct. 28): If legalizing
the use of drugs is an expression of support of "human rights and
dignity," then we are truly in a bad state as a civilization. There
has been so much evidence of the dangers in the use of cannabis
(despite the efforts to deny this by the addicted users) that it would
be complete lunacy to decriminalize its possession.
