FED'S DRUG POLICY FUTILE

Re: Drug policy seriously outdated (Sept. 22). In a world of dark-ages 
drug policy, thank God for this sliver of light.

Most of the civilized world is moving forward into an enlightened
policy on the use of drugs. The failed policy of "the war on drugs,"
however, is still determinedly, stubbornly, and stupidly pursued by
the Harper government, which insists on policies that defy scientific
evidence, compassion, and common sense.

How can a man as intelligent as Stephen Harper pursue such a futile
policy?
