LEGALIZE DRUGS TO HURT CRIMINAL CARTELS

In his Nov. 1 commentary "Drug courts a new model to replace failed 
'war'," writer Robert L. DuPont states that the heart of drug 
legalization is to free prisoners and save money.

Although this is partially true, the main reason for legalization is 
to get criminal cartels out of the business of drugs.

Most of the crimes committed are perpetrated by or for these criminal 
elements that make billions of dollars in profit every year on the 
drug traffic.
