REGULATION OF DRUG SALES WOULD PROTECT MINORS

(Re: "Drug prohibition: What cop learned from years on front line," by
Howard J. Wooldridge.)

I heartily endorse this former officer's views.

Alcohol prohibition did not work, and neither has drug prohibition.
Both resulted in gangs, murder and lawlessness.

Anyone can buy drugs whenever they want. We should establish a system
similar to the manner in which liquor is sold. Such an arrangement
system would limit somewhat the availability of drugs to minors.
