NOT THE ANSWER

A recent letter writer seems to have all the answers regarding pot
legalization. I guess, with his criticism of legal marijuana, he feels
that booze and cigarettes should be criminalized as well.

Or maybe he's a curmudgeon who's bought into the racist propaganda
spread by American police activists over the last few decades.

Treat drug addiction like the medical problem it is and stop feeding
the militaristic mindset of the police "fighting a war on drugs." It
has only wasted trillions of dollars and ruined countless lives.

the consequences of letting people use this drug.
