HOW TO COMBAT THE DRUG SCOURGE

Dear Editor:

In today's Herald, Bruce Wallace puts out quite a listing of urgent
needs and demands for comprehensive harm-reduction services. "We need
supervised-consumption services, we need access to safer substances,
we need to end the illegal market, we need prescription heroin, we
need to stop stigmatizing druggies, we need societal changes and we
need to responses to be responsive." Heck, why not just open the flood
gates?

Better idea! Lets adopt a governing style with policies to combat the
drug scourge similar to those implemented by President Rodrigo Duterte
of the Philippines.
