WHY THE HYSTERIA ON LEGAL GARDENS?

Re: "Inspectors needed now" (July 27). I read your editorial on how 
legal medical marijuana growers are not being inspected. Your 
concern, other than the fact Health Canada doesn't inspect legal 
growers, was solely based on the health and safety of those who live 
in these houses.

I am wondering why you are not as concerned with all indoor 
hydroponic gardens, whether it's for marijuana, tomatoes or flowers. 
Common sense tells me they are all plants, growing inside, and all 
have the same risks. So why the hysteria on legal gardens?
