LEGALIZATION NEEDED

Thanks for publishing the thoughtful letter "Decriminalize Drugs"
(July 3). However, the letter writer did not advocate for the
decriminalization of all drugs; he advocated for the full legalization
of all drugs.

Only legal products can be regulated, controlled and taxed by any
government agency.

When we legalize all drugs so they can be sold in licensed businesses
for pennies per dose, the term "drug-related crime" will become obsolete.
