Wooldridge RETIRED COP RECOMMENDS ENDING DRUG PROHIBITION As a retired, Michigan police detective and student of history, I will bet my pension on an effective strategy to dramatically end half the violence in Windsor; namely, end drug prohibition. Windsor and other cities in Canada are increasingly being the victims of drug trade-related violence. Near Lansing, a solid 75 per cent of my felony case load (as a detective) touched drug prohibition. You know the path to take. All you need now is the courage to act. HOWARD J. WOOLDRIDGE (Ret.)
