GOVERNMENT SHOULD CONTROL DRUGS

Re: "High time for change," Apr. 13-15.

The power to control quality, price and availability should be in the 
hands of the government, not cartels and mafia as it is today.

However, the issue at hand is not completely black and white. Along 
with legalization comes a certain responsibility that is handed to 
the citizens.

If the government were to consider decriminalizing recreational drug 
use, a solid public education campaign based on facts would need to 
accompany such a policy shift.
