Free market solution to the war on drugs

Hugh Robertson

Letters, Wall Street Journal, US

Sunday 12 Sep 1999

Jim Heim's regurgitation of reefer madness myths and hysteria (Letters to the Editor, Sept. 2), despite the many recent reports (Institute of Medicine, World Health Organization, etc) that have dispelled them, makes me wonder which planet he has been on for the past few years. The obvious answer to his question is, Yes, of course we should "disregard the studies that have shown that one joint is equivalent to a pack of cigarettes" when these studies have been thoroughly disproved. The world is slowly waking up, not only to the relatively benign nature of cannabis, but also to the fact that the war on drugs is an incredibly expensive failure.
