LEGALIZE ALL DRUGS

To the editor:

"If we didn't have drugs as a problem, then we wouldn't have the spinoffs 
of thefts, violent crimes and other cases involved in drug purchases and 
getting money for drugs," said Colbert County District Attorney Gary 
Alverson, "we'd have practically no cases to worry about. That's true of 
most everywhere in the country."

Precisely. That's a very good reason why we should legalize all drugs.

The others include the Bill of Rights and reducing user deaths, the spread 
of disease and police corruption.
