LEGALIZE IT

I'm writing about James Geuzebroek's letter, "Even if you like pot." 
If Geuzebroek thinks the eradication of pot grow ops is worthwhile, 
then he should support the only measure that would accomplish this: 
full legalization of marijuana use, sales and production. Canada has 
no illegal tobacco grow operations because tobacco products are 
legally available to adults in local stores at affordable prices. If 
you were to criminalize tobacco, the situation would soon change and 
tobacco would be grown by criminals in clandestine locations. Just 
like marijuana is today.
