Complaints about America's longstanding war on drugs are common. 

And some of the complaints come from people who were soldiers in that war. 

Inge Fryklund of Bend prosecuted members of drug gangs in Chicago and met opium growers in Afghanistan. 

She saw clear parallels between the two; both involve drug suppliers trying to protect their "turf". 

Fryklund is now a member of LEAP, Law Enforcement Against Prohibition.

We'll visit with her prior to a couple of events in Weed (California).
