I wrote my recent letter to the editor about drugs because I was asking whether the incredible death rate from opioids was not because of the drug itself but because we have made it illegal, forcing people to use drugs of uncertain dosage and possibly laced with fentanyl.
I was asking the question, but I shouldn’t have put it in the way I did, and for this, I apologize.
I am so sorry for John Green’s loss — there is no greater tragedy in life than to lose a child.
— Joan Bundtzen
