DRUG EVIDENCE?

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.
