DRUGS: GRASS GROWTH INTERRUPTED

Dear Editor,

With the Tenancy Act requirement to give 24 hours notice, I doubt that
a single methamphetamine cook will be affected by tri-monthly
inspections by landlords [Inspections devised to foil Township
grow-ops, June 30, Langley Advance], though marijuana gardeners will
surely be interrupted.

Lately, the trend has been toward upscale houses as the main locations
for such taboo farms. It will be business as usual for those people,
unless something else is done.

Since the police have real crime to attend to, I suggest that we
recruit everybody to regularly go into each other's houses to do the
inspections; that way nobody is missed. Odd house numbers inspect the
even house numbers and vice versa. Don't forget to check the underwear
drawer; that's a common hiding place for a little baggie.

And don't worry about privacy issues. The war on terror and certain
drugs and plants has eroded so many civil liberties that most people
don't really care anymore.

Besides, if you have nothing to hide, this shouldn't bother you a
bit.
