DRUGS DEFENDED

Regarding the fall of the grow-op on Empire on Aug. 20, please, I'm
begging you, please make these drug stories more objective and thus
less akin to pro-government propaganda by including the comments of
those like me who oppose our unjust and shameful drug prohibition law.

Alternatively, you could simply append at the end of these items a
statement like, "Many feel that drug prohibition (1) is illogical
because other harmful drugs are allowed, (2) is an abuse of the right
of free adults to ingest any drug, (3) causes more harm because of
adulterated drugs and crime than the drugs themselves, or (4) is
ineffective and a waste of law enforcement resources because human
beings will always want drugs."
