Justice Minister Rob Nicholson forgot to add a couple key words to his letter -- the war on drugs leads to more petty crime, more gang violence and more risk to law-enforcement officers, all of which makes our communities less safe. If Mr. Nicholson and company truly cared about these things, they would end the war on drugs instead of escalating it. Bruce Korol, Calgary. - --- MAP posted-by: Richard Lake
