LEGALIAZING DRUGS WILL STOP VIOLENCE

Re: Victoria's top cop vows to catch drug dealers (News, May 22)

With all due respect to my colleague, Chief Jamie Graham, he knows it 
is not drugs and violence that go together, rather drug trade and violence.

We know that every drug dealer ever arrested or shot is replaced very 
quickly.  The only net effect of a drug bust is the taxpayers must 
build another prison bed.

The only thing that strikes terror into the hearts of drug dealers is 
one word: legalization.
