LEGALIZE POT, GROW OPS CAN BE MOVED OUTDOORS

Nov. 28 I was greeted by a page of letters in the Vancouver Sun 
concerning marijuana prohibition plus a letter here by John Noakes 
questioning legalization as it pertains to grow ops degrading houses 
and neighbourhoods.

This is a very real worry. Grow op houses tend to develop unhealthy 
mould that is difficult and sometimes impossible to eradicate. Being 
illegal, they attract unsavoury types, and overloaded electrical 
circuits increase fire hazards.

However, with legalization, the growing of marijuana would swiftly 
move outdoors for the simple reason that it is much cheaper than 
burning megawatts of electricity and it produces better pot.

Marijuana would simply become an agricultural crop.
