DRUGS ARE HEALTH ISSUE

Re: "The dangers of pot," by James Phipps, Friday Letters.

Mr. Phipps attempt to demonize the use of pot fails on many levels.
How are the examples he uses any different than with alcohol? Alcohol
is completely legal, and its abuse devastates many more lives than the
use of pot.

We need to fight the abuse (as opposed to use) of all drugs by
treating it as the health issue that it is, not the criminal issue the
prohibitionists want it to be.
