THE DRUG WAR

I'm writing about Pat Butler's thoughtful column: "Drug war needs to 
target meth" (July 9).

I'd like to add that the so-called drug warriors going after 
marijuana while almost ignoring our epidemic of meth is like an 
emergency room surgeon treating a knee scrape with a band aid while 
the patient's blood is gushing out of a severed artery in his neck. 
Not exactly the best priorities.
