PROHIBITION DID NOT WORK WITH ALCOHOL. IT WILL NOT WITH DRUGS.

All of them should be legalized, sold with accurate warning labels, 
and the proceeds used to fund clinics for those whom the drugs make 
ill. Drugs, like alcohol, are evil. But it is a medical evil, not a 
criminal one.

There is a solution to drugs. Their users seek "connection." They 
find it with the fascination of evil. The answer, as Fred Rogers said 
elsewhere last week, is to make the good attractive. This is possible 
because behind the glittering surface of evils is nothing, where the 
good alone is substantial. We all must show this in our lives.
