RISK IS DUE DIRECTLY TO PROHIBITION

The Campbell River Mirror is guilty of false reporting (Editorial: 
Protect Kids From Grow-Ops, March 16, 2007), by stating children have 
"increased risk of violence due to home invasions and rip-offs," 
related to cannabis grow-ops.

The risk is due directly to prohibition in the same way alcohol 
created dangerous environments during the original prohibition. 
Citizens will continue growing the God-given plant cannabis (kaneh 
bosm / marijuana) with or with out the sequel to prohibition; 
regulation ends every problem police want media to parrot to 
perpetuate their money tree. Further, re-legalizing cannabis is past 
due; even Canada's 2002, Senate Committee on Illegal Drugs' 
unanimously recommended to regulate cannabis the same way as alcohol. 
So what's the truth, Campbell River Mirror?
