END THE FIGHT

To the Editor:

As a retired police officer, I know that the meth lab is simply the moonshine still of the 21st century; busting one up is useless as another springs up to take its place.  I worry as my colleagues are forced to raid a meth lab, it is truly dangerous and ultimately futile work.  Ending drug prohibition would allow my fellow officers to again concentrate on public safety threats like drunk drivers and child molesters.  If an adult chooses to burn their brains up with meth or alcohol, let them deal with the consequences of their poor choice.
