WHY CRIME PAYS
Sir: So it's "High times for farmers as cannabis is America's biggest
cash crop" (19 December), is it? Just why is an ounce of marijuana
more valuable than several bushels of corn? Prohibition. Why is
marijuana completely tax-free? Prohibition. And why is marijuana
unregulated and controlled by criminals? Prohibition. Perhaps they
should criminalise corn to make it more profitable.
