BUSY BUSTING DRUG DEALERS

Dear Editor,

Every time the police tear out one grow, they make the 90 to 95 per
cent of grows they will never catch all that much more valuable.

In this way, they are subsidizing the dealers they don't
catch.

They know this, too, because all science and history on the subject
supports this.

It leads me to wonder just which side of the law these guys are really
on.

If the police really cared about reducing crime and drug use and
protecting public safety, they would lobby for legalized regulation.

But instead, they lobby for more cops, more powers, more jails, longer
sentences, and reduced civil rights and liberties for the general
population.

They are keen to tell the public that only more prohibition will solve
the problems caused by prohibition.

I think it is pretty clear who's side they are on - their
own!
