AS WITH PROHIBITION, WE SHOULD NIP THIS IN BUD

The misery and violence behind recreational drugs are no different 
than what we experienced during our short war on alcohol. Thankfully, 
we came to our senses quickly and nipped it in the bud.

As your editorial alludes, it is the enormous profits for marijuana, 
coca and the opium poppy that create the misery, violence and 
bloodshed, not their use.
