CANADA'S ARCHAIC DRUG LAWS ARE NOT WORKING

Re: 'Organized crime the only winner in war on drugs' (Your Letters, Daily
News, Oct. 5)

Thank goodness, a voice of reason at last.

Canada's archaic drug laws aren't working any more than prohibition
did. When someone wants a product badly enough, legal or not, there
will always be someone to supply it.

This problem will never go away no matter how much money we throw at
it. I'm sick and tired of spending millions of dollars to protect
stupid people from themselves. This money could be better spent on
education and health care.
