PRIME BENEFICIARIES OF OUR CURRENT DRUG POLICIES

Editor:
I'm writing about Sen. Jon Kyl's not-so-thoughtful commentary: "Legalize 
drugs? Just Say No" (9-30-04).

Why does Sen. Kyl want recreational drugs to remain completely unregulated 
and controlled by criminals?

Only legal products can be regulated by our government. Only legal products 
can be controlled by our government. And only legal products can be taxed 
by our government.

Jon Kyl is one of the leading drug war cheerleaders of the U. S. Senate. 
The prime beneficiaries of our current drug policies are drug dealers and 
drug lords.

Is Senator Kyl being paid by the drug lords to campaign to keep the current 
counterproductive drug policies?
