CONSEQUENCES OF GROWING POT

Re Marijuana legalization: Lots of talk these days about legalizing
marijuana and all the tax money that will come rolling in, maybe.

But visualize this: Pot plants growing legal in backyards alongside
the tomatoes and green beans. Teenagers going over fences in the
middle of the night. The quiet of the night shattered by the sounds of
barking guard dogs and shotguns. Ambulance and police sirens join in.

Neighbors who were once friends, friends no more. Lawsuits of all
kinds clogging our courts. Try taxing all of that.
