PROHIBITION IS THE "SCOURGE"

To The Editor, RE: Editorial: It's All Around Us

There are two things wrong with this editorial position. First,
"drugs" are the "scourge", prohibition is. If marijuana were legalized
and regulated, these clandestine grows would not even exist. The
second problem is the notion that we should become a "snitch nation" -
a society that sneakily peeks over each others' fences to see what our
neighbor is up to, only to rat them out to the police, who, by
enforcing these absurd and corrupt prohibition laws, are as much of a
problem as the growers.

If everyone would just mind their own damn business, and if the police
and government would stay out of the personal business of it citizens,
the whole world would be a better place.
