A SOLUTION TO DRUG PROBLEM: LEGALIZATION

To the editor: I have the perfect solution to the world's drug problem.  It would eradicate the need to incarcerate traffickers, saving tens of thousands of dollars by not having to prosecute them or confine them in prison.  It would make possible the return of our military from Colombia and other places.  It would cut down on robberies.

It is so easy that I'm surprised no one else has thought about it.  All the government has to do is legalize all drugs.  Let them have as much as they want.  They'll all get too much and be dead in a week.  End of users and pushers.  If they want to kill themselves - let them.  Society is fed up with paying for their foolishness.  We all have choices of how we live.  If they want it they can get it - all they want.  Thanks for reading this letter.  I know others won't agree, but it's worth thinking about.
