THE US WAR ON DRUGS IS A TOUGH BATTLE GIVEN THE LEGAL AND OTHER PROTOCOLS

Dear Editor,

As a long-time law enforcement officer (1967 - 2002) on the streets of
Washington, D.C. I suggest that the Anti-Crime Forum members examine
the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration (USDEA) rules, regulations
and restrictions. Having completed that study they might then look at
the Bill of Rights section of the U.S. Constitution. If they have any
time left they should then address their attention to U.S. Case law
studies and publications.

It is one thing to say that the US needs to curtail its consumption of
illegal drugs. It is quite another thing to put those words into action.

While reading Nigel Williams' article I thought of an old Native
American saying "I cried because I had no shoes. Then I met a man who
had no feet."

Yours faithfully,

John C. Kennedy
