Dave Watson a medical marijuana grower does not think home grow operations will boom. He states “If it was easy, a lot more people would already be doing it.”  Growing of marijuana was illegal before, so why would a lot of people be already doing this? Thus Mr. Watson’s theory behind why home grow op’s will not boom cleary makes zero sense.

In fact legalizing marijuana in the first place makes zero sense. What is the point of legalizing marijuana? More money for the government? Over the past year I have had the oppurtunity to learn about illicit drugs through drug addicts, rehab doctors, and downtown Vancouver City Police members that specialize in the downtown east side drug problem.  The number 1 lesson from all of these individuals was simple “say no to drugs“. They all stated marijuana to be the “gateway drug” meaning the drug people start with before trying harder drugs. Now marijuana will be sold easily, made easily, and best of all LEGAL! Why not legalize something that has caused so many issues in health around the world.

Would it be too much to try and come up with an ethical method of making money for the State?
