IGNORANCE OF THE PRESS "RE "DEADLY days for pot trade," (Sun, May 29): Lord save us all from the unremitting ignorance of the press. The violence of the drug trade is there for one reason and one reason only: because the drugs are prohibited. You don't read about murder and mayhem amongst gangs of tobacconists do you?
