The United States' drug prohibition policies are like a broken sewer pipe that's not only flooding and stinking up our own home, but our neighbors' homes as well. The solution is not to use more mops and buckets of law enforcement, but rather to fix the broken sewer pipe of drug prohibition. Law enforcement didn't get rid of the alcohol cartels. Ending alcohol prohibition got rid of the alcohol cartels and the violence and corruption that went with them. Kirk Muse Mesa, Ariz. - --- MAP posted-by: Jo-D
