GIFFORD-JONES APPLAUDED FOR TOUGH STAND ON DRUGS

I read Dr. Gifford-Jones' The Doctor Game column in the Jan. 28
Okanagan Saturday (Death to drug traffickers.)

It made so much sense and he's right - all this catering to addicts
who have taken drugs of their own will is solving nothing. The problem
will only get bigger and kill more people.

Gifford-Jones explains how the government of Singapore stopped the
problem. When he flew into Singapore, he was handed a small card that
said: "Death to Drug Traffickers under Singapore law."

Singapore does not have drug traffickers, they got the message very
quickly.

The money that we lose in our medical system is criminal the way it is
being administered now. Please support Dr. Gifford-Jones.
