END PROHIBITION, END DRUG PROBLEMS

Re: "Drug court offers a solution for city," Jun. 12.

Our grandparents must have been a lot smarter than we are. They 
didn't waste time setting up "booze courts" when they realized that 
prohibiting alcohol was causing more harm than good. They simply 
ended alcohol prohibition.

We should do likewise because the best way of reducing the harm and 
heartbreak inflicted by illegal drugs on users and non-users alike is 
to end drug prohibition.
