DRUG PROHIBITION WILL NEVER SUCCEED

RE: "BUSTS only cause rise in demand for drugs," April 1. Letter writer N. 
Speers made a rational presentation of the law of supply and demand as it 
pertains to the illegal drugs. Rather than issuing one of your standard, 
flippant remarks I think all readers would appreciate your analysis of why 
the law of supply and demand would not apply. Seventy years of Soviet 
communism could not defeat the profit motive. What makes you think that 
drug prohibition can?
