LOCKING UP ADDICTS WON'T SOLVE ADDICTION, SAYS WRITER

To the Editor,

Re: Majority of addicts caused their misery, News Bulletin, April 21.

How dare you, Mr. Poncakia.

After reading your letter and suggestion to "lock up addicts," you
should be ashamed of yourself. Obviously, you have never lost a loved
one to addiction and have no clue about this devastating disease.

Perhaps you should be locked up for your ignorance regarding the
issue.
