'BLOOD ON HANDS' LETTER IS BACKWARD

Millions of Americans and I strongly disagree with the backward
thinking in the letter Monday, "Drug users have blood on hands."
Prohibitionists have clearly created the underground environment that
causes the extreme violence. The original Prohibition with alcohol
produced violence on a national scale and created Al Capone.

The blood is unmistakably on the hands of prohibitionists. Murder
rates decreased for 10 years after repealing the original Prohibition,
and there's reason to believe ending the sequel will have the same
results.
