UNDERGROUND DRUG SALES

EDITOR:

The fact that cities are turning away pot dispensaries makes me 
wonder why these supposedly learned folks in government would rather 
drive pot sales back underground ("State's high court OKs ban on pot 
stores," Tuesday). Is the court high on something?

Underground is where pot sales happily thrived, tax free and full of 
violent criminals as well as normal users of this herb since the 
beginning of President Richard Nixon's failed drug war, 50 years ago 
and a trillion dollars down the drain. The trade in heroin, cocaine 
and dangerous designer drugs will be side by side with a harmless, useful herb.

Madness is doing things over and over again expecting different 
results. See what we mean by crazy drug war?
