Letter: Prohibition isn't working

Jerry D. Lape

The Guardian

Thursday 30 Apr 2009

I was reading the piece about all the doom and gloom that would accompany legalization of "weed" (cannabis,hemp,marijuana). The thing the writer left out, was the fact that illegal or not, weed is currently sold everywhere. And it is sold to anyone with cash, by criminals.

In reading this piece, a person would get the idea that our authorities, were incapable of controlling a legal substance. In that case we are in dire need of some new and capable authorities. Or does the writer believe that the drug trade is better left in the hands of street gangs, cartels, and even the Taliban? Yes, there are many reasons to hate drugs, but "prohibition" is not working, and current policies only enrich the criminals. To continue on this course, is to condone the deaths of all who die for a failed policy.
