TIME TO GET MARIJUANA CONTROL OUT OF THE HANDS OF THE GANGS

I read the article about grow-ops in Monday's paper. When are these
politicians going to get it?

During prohibition they had the same problem. Gangs being a major
factor. So why not legalize marijuana and tax it, like tobacco and
alcohol?

I'll tell you why, because like the rest of the world, we are afraid
of the U.S., politicians in this country have no backbone. They are
afraid the Americans are going to close the borders. Let them do it!

Give your heads a shake and take away the illegal part and you won't
have the gangs controlling it.
