LEGALIZE POT TO BUST GROW OPS

I'm writing about: "Breaking the law to bust grow-ops" (12-26-06). If 
neighbors want to eliminate illegal grow-ops, it seems to me that 
they should support the only measure that would accomplish this: full 
legalization of marijuana use, sales and production.

Neither Canada nor the United States has any illegal tobacco-grow 
operations.  That's because tobacco products are legally available in 
licensed business establishments at affordable prices.  If tobacco 
were to be criminalized, the situation would soon change and tobacco 
would be grown in clandestine locations by criminals.

Just like marijuana is today.
