CANDIDATE'S STANCE ON DRUGS IS DOPEY

In response to the recent article in which congressional candidate Roger 
Kahn states he might be open to legalizing certain drugs ("Candidate forum 
gets jolt,"  June 26): If Kahn wants to be a public servant, he's 
off to a bad start.

Taking illegal narcotics isn't a decision that affects just one person. 
Drugs destroy families.

Decriminalizing drugs says society accepts their use. I'm not willing to 
accept that. Georgia's medical community isn't willing to accept that.
