PROHIBITION HASN'T WORKED ANYWHERE

Editor:

If the Blood Reserve residents think engaging in police state tactics
will help their "drug" problems, they should think again. Look at the
U.S.A., biggest prohibition nation in the world, yet has the highest
use. You're likely to only exacerbate the problem and drive prices of
said "drugs" up. Just thought you should know before you destroy your
community.

Treatment always will be and always has been the only option. Good
luck in the future and I hope you restore your community to what you
would like to see it as but in a free way, not a regime of mandatory
testing which every time it's been enforced in the past has only
exacerbated the problem. Do some research, people, for the sake of
your people.
