Free-Lance Star, VA YES, DONNIE, WE SHOULD END THE WAR ON DRUGS Speaking as a retired detective, I heartily agree with the thoughts of Donnie Johnston ["Is it time for a truce in the war on drugs?" July 22]. My profession has spent just over a trillion tax dollars on the war on drugs. The results? Drugs are cheaper, stronger, and more readily available to our teens. Prohibition is the prime driver of felony crime in the U.S. Millions of good citizens have been made victims because a crackhead needs $200 a day. Seriously, if Charlie and his friends die from cocaine, who cares? My sympathy is with the homeowners whose homes are broken into. About 98 percent of us do not need a law to keep us from using hard drugs. Will we ever be as wise as our grandparents and repeal prohibition? Or will we waste another trillion dollars just to see what happens? Howard Wooldridge Buckeystown, Md.
