WANT PEACE? THEN LEGALIZE POT

Would you like to know how to end all of the problems associated with
indoor marijuana grow operations, both legal and illegal? End pot
prohibition.

Most folks would grow their cannabis outdoors during the summer months
because it would cost next to nothing - no lights, fans, etc. There
would be no risk of electrical fires, and no mold issues. This should
please the fire chiefs.

And because anyone can grow it, you would put the lucrative drug trade
out of business. Less violence with competing organized crime groups
will mean that our streets would be safer. This should please the police.

Why are we making this so much more complicated than it needs to be?
Ending alcohol prohibition ended the dangers of stills exploding and
the dangers of criminal enterprises distributing it.

Peace is there if we want it but I guess we are just not ready for
it.
