PARLIAMENT YET TO EXPLAIN DRUG PROHIBITION

Dear Editor:

I sent a letter to you in response to an editorial - Insite Should be
Closed Now - (North Shore News, June 10). In a misprint you have
completely reversed the intent of my response (Heroin Should Never be
Legal, North Shore News, June 20).

I certainly do not wish anyone to believe that I support drug
prohibition of any sort, for Parliament has not yet informed me why
they prefer their citizens access dirty street drugs instead of clean
regulated drugs; why Parliament prefers to put their own citizens in
jail instead of giving them access to health care, food and shelter as
free men; or why Parliament chooses to subsidize organized crime and
make drugs easier for our children to access than even a decent education.

(North Shore News Editor: The word "legal" in the letter should have 
been "illegal.")
