DRUG WAR ON TOMATOES

Hazardous marijuana grow operations are a direct result of marijuana 
prohibition.

Legitimate farmers do not steal electricity to grow produce in the 
basements of rented homes.

If [it were] legal, growing marijuana would be less profitable then farming 
tomatoes.

As it stands, the drug war distorts market forces such that an easily grown 
weed is literally worth its weight in gold.
