IMAGINE THE DRUG WAR WE'D HAVE IF WE CRIMINALIZED THE DRUG CAFFEINE

I agree with the headline of Joe Adam Diaz' Sunday letter: "Don't 
blame Mexico for our drug problem."

However, it's not drug use that causes crime and corruption but 
rather the criminalization of drugs. How much crime and corruption do 
we have related to the drug caffeine?

None. None whatsoever. If we were to criminalize products containing 
caffeine the situation would soon change.
