Prohibition doesn't work

The Conservatives can make it tougher for pot growers all they want.

The Conservatives can make it tougher for pot growers all they want but when the violent gang members are willing to risk being shot to death every minute of every day a few more months in prison is not going to stop these people.

The repeal of alcohol prohibition put a end to a lot of gang violence that happened during prohibition of alcohol. Repealing cannabis prohibition would seriously reduce the gang violence and end the massive cannabis gardens in private homes.

Additionally many legal jobs and taxes could be created.
