NO HARM DONE
You ran multiple articles on the "ills" associated with the marijuana
trade and cultivation. You might want to make a distinction between
harms that are causally linked to cannabis-growing (none) and harms
that exist only because that growing is illegal (mould, stolen
electricity, funding organized crime, destruction of rental
properties). There is a difference, and you do everyone a disservice
when you fail to point that out. Growing cannabis is no more
intrinsically harmful than growing tomatoes; the difference is that it
is legal to grow tomatoes.
