ENDING DRUG HOUSES
Re: "A growing problem with marijuana," May 25.
During alcohol Prohibition, illicit stills proliferated in homes and
residential areas much like grow houses today, only with many more
fires, explosions and deaths due to alcohol fumes.
Both cases show that suppressing a popular drug is
impossible.
However, we can rest assured that after America's ill-conceived
marijuana laws are repealed, grow houses will vanish the same way
bathtub gin disappeared.
