POINTLESS POT-BUST RITUALS

So what if the Mounties, using helicopters to search vast and densely
forested regions of B.C., have seized 14,000 marijuana plants (B.C.
Drug Busts Net 14,000 Marijuana Plants - Oct. 13)?

What difference will it make? Last year's RCMP pot harvest didn't stop
this year's crop, and this year's RCMP harvest won't stop next year's
crop. These outdoor "drug busts" are just glaring examples of the
futility of prohibition.
