August 29, 2001: The
Dallas Morning News reports that Ernesto Samper, former president of Colombia,
said, "The problem is the law of the marketplace is overtaking the law
of the state. We have to ask, is legalization the way out of this?
We cannot continue to fight this war alone. If the consuming nations
do nothing to curb demand, to control money-laundering, to halt the flow
of chemicals that supply the drug-production labs, then in a few short
years the world is going to see legalization as the answer."
