Published LTE: Savannah Morning News: March 28,2011: RESTRICTING DRUG SALES DOESN’T FIX STUPIDITY

 As a retired police detective, I can say with some authority that the government can not fix stupid.  Yet, after 40 years of failed drug war/drug prohibition policy, you still believe that the police can fix personal stupidity, via Sen.  Carter’s bill.

Show me the evidence please.

Yes, people are hurt and killed by taking too many pills like Oxicodone.  Many more are hurt and killed by cigarettes and booze.

Should we track and restrict their sales as well? Allow an adult to only buy one bottle of whiskey a week? Where do you nanny-staters wish to draw the line?
