DRUG WAR IS UNCONSTITUTIONAL

This is your law enforcement on drugs. ("Cop probe widens," Jan. 20.) The 
drug war that is. Should anyone be surprised there is corruption in law 
enforcement? Or in politics for that matter? The whole drug war is 
unconstitutional and has bred contempt for the law because you can't 
legislate morals. Consuming or possessing drugs isn't criminal. We've made 
crimes of things that are notcrimes.

(We legislate morals all the time.)
