Frosh said Thursday that his office will join counterparts in the Northeast to share information and jointly prosecute drug traffickers ("Maryland joins task force to combat heroin traffic, deaths," Feb. 13). If interdiction and criminalization could solve the problem of drug addiction, it would have done so long ago. Mr. Frosh will waste our tax dollars, throw people in prison, spy on and harass mostly innocent people driving on the highway. Decriminalization, harm reduction and treatment are what's needed, not politicians exploiting a crisis and making it worse. Rob Baker, Ambler, Pa. - --- MAP posted-by: Jay Bergstrom
