PROHIBITION ONLY HELPS CRIMINALS
Charles Moore's column "Drug laws dumb on crime" (Feb. 17) presents a
thoughtful critique of Bill S-10.
I would add that creating a 'prohibition' situation around marijuana
growing will achieve the same results as alcohol prohibition did years
ago. It will enable organized crime to cash in on growing and
distribution opportunities when small growers leave the market.
Tough on crime? When pigs fly!
