METH IS THE REAL MENACE

I'm writing about your thoughtful July 28 editorial: "The Scourge of Meth."

This headline could be used in hundreds of newspapers throughout the United States.  So far, the drug czar's solution to this epidemic has been to go after marijuana users and growers, including medical marijuana users and their caregivers.

This is like an emergency-room surgeon treating a knee scrape with a Band-Aid while the patient's blood is gushing out of a severed artery in his neck.  Not exactly the best priorities.
