DRUG WAR MOVES CULTIVATION INSIDE
Self-sufficiency, pride, the economy and a perceived responsibility
to stem international terrorism all are reasons why a growing number
of people are cultivating their own marijuana, according to lobbyists
who want to change pot laws.
"The more government has pushed on 'outside' growers ( both out of
country and out of doors ), the more this has moved indoors," said
Allen St. Pierre, executive director of the National Organization for
the Reform of Marijuana Laws. "Through government programs meant to
eradicate marijuana, local production has grown."
And local law enforcement agrees on one point -- more times than not,
the grow houses busted belong to individuals and not drug cartels.
