DRUG WAR STRATEGIES

It should come as no surprise that "Drug War Fails to Dent U.S. 
Supply" (June 28). After wasting $5.4 billion since 2000, let's 
finally admit that the strategy we are using to combat drug use is 
not going to work. And it is time we got smart and tried a different 
strategy: Let's just use the dollars allocated to the drug war to 
better educate kids why drugs are wrong and bad for them.
