WOULD SPEND MORE

Stephen Heath responded to my letter and stated that it is futile to fight 
the war on drugs. I must assume he proposes the legalization of drugs. We 
have a problem with alcoholism today, which is costing the public huge sums 
of money and lives. Legalized drugs will make that problem look like 
nothing. Drugs are like fire ants. To eliminate them you must wipe out the 
nest where ever they are or they will soon take over your property or your 
nation.

If we listen to Heath, we will be spending far more on the victims of 
legalized drugs than we are today fighting drugs.
