THE WAR ON DRUGS DOES NOT WORK

Bravo, Andrew Hanon! Thank you for covering the conference on harm 
reduction, in light of the Conservative government's get-tough plans. 
Why can't Canada have our own drug laws, instead of playing 
follow-the-leader with the U.S.? When are these politicians going to 
open their eyes to the fact that the war on drugs does not work? Why 
is the government so opposed to harm reduction, when clearly that is 
one of the only effective ways to deal with drug abuse?
