Legalization: (Undeclared) War on Drugs in Mexico - Opinion

Here is another voice of reason from the hinterlands. This editor used to live in Fairfield County, CT, the "Gold Coast" near New York City. Litchfield County is just to the north, a picturesque countyside of wooded hills and New England villages, to which many artists and other New York types retreat.

Undeclared) War on Drugs in Mexico - Opinion - Litchfield County Times:  "Let’s take on, with open eyes, our drug problem, draw up a national plan, establish and fund it. Instead of prisons, substitute clinics. FDA-approved anti-addiction drugs are available. With the nation’s will behind it, weaning addicts’ away from self-destructive drug habits, would cost far less than what we’re now spending in blindly pursuing a failed, dead end crime approach. And thousands and thousands of young lives could be turned around." Nov. 4, 2010
