ADDICTED TO MYTHS

It would appear that newspapers are more addicted to perpetuating 
myths about drugs than telling the truth. "Pot use sky-high," Dec. 
27.) The worst of these myths is that the prohibition of drugs has 
any social benefit at all, for actually it exacerbates the very 
problems it is supposedly designed to combat. But don't take it from 
me, please do your research before you parrot the "findings" of 
prohibition-oriented institutions.
