PARALLELS TO ALCOHOL

Thank you for Robert Sharpe's July 30 letter, Regulating marijuana, 
regarding the decriminalization of marijuana.

The only point Sharpe misses is a comparison of the results of 
current government attitudes to pot with those toward alcohol 
prohibition in North America in the 1920s and 1930s, which encouraged 
the growth and success of organized crime.
