A SURE WAY TO FIX PROBLEM

In your Jan. 4 editorial, you opined that home grow operations pose "a
threat to communities that can only be stopped with tough, serious sentencing."

I would suggest another way to stop them, and that is, to take out the
profit motive.

When marijuana is relegalised, the price differential between what the
legal suppliers charge, tax and all, and the cost of this type of illegal
production, will drop to such an extent that the grow ops will disappear.

There will, of course, be small home grows for personal use, but because
they will be able to be done legally, there should be little risk from them.

Sort of like home brewing of beer, and at the same level of risk to society.
