PROHIBITION CREATES BLACK MARKETS

I don't know where Janet L. Jackson learned to "dig up" facts, (Dec. 1) but 
it seems she is turning up more manure than anything else in her column on 
cannabis. Prohibition creates black markets that are attractive to 
organized crime. When alcohol was re-legalized in the U.S., organized crime 
was out of the business overnight.
