KEEP THE WAR ON DRUGS GOING; OR IS TAXING IT A BETTER OPTION

Re: We Can't Afford A War On Weed, Larry Campbell, Philip Owen and Sam 
Sullivan, Dec. 19.

If these three ex-mayors of Vancouver told me that at midnight it was
dark outside, I would still look out the window to check. But in this
case, when talking about the futility of the war on weed, they are
bang on. This war, run simultaneously in the United States and Canada,
has been a failure of colossal proportions.

Let's stop the madness and fill the government's empty piggy bank 
instead of the criminals' pockets.
