WHY REDFORD SUPPORTS PROHIBITION

Either Justice Minister Alison Redford does not trust the public's 
judgment ("Want us to take drugs seriously? Stop lying to us," June 
28), as you state, or she sees potential profit by keeping the drug 
war alive. A lot of people are making money off the prison industrial 
complex, and mandated treatment facilities that are parasitic 
outgrowths of prohibition. When Redford supports prohibition as 
strongly as she does, you need to look deeper for why.
