About Kevin Sabet's piece "How to cut prescription drug abuse" (Open Forum, March 24): As a committed "drug warrior," he of course doesn't bother with facts; assumptions are much more fun. Like "evidence shows that the legalization of our current illegal drugs would simply ... increase their use." There is no such evidence. What would happen were we to legalize drugs is a great question but without an answer unless and until we do it. Douglas Hill, Berkeley - --- MAP posted-by: Matt
