Wednesday Morning Sour Grapes?

To paraphrase ole Ross Perot, that giant sighing of relief you hear is coming from the murdering Mexican drug cartel bosses. They have several more years of almost unfettered markets for their weed sales in Ohio. Again their unintended enforcers will spend millions on helicopter and aircraft overflights seeking out a few hundred plants that overworked local law enforcement will have to confiscate and courts will have to adjudicate about.
In the meantime, as we normally law abiding citizens sip our martinis, we must wonder why the lesson of the failed prohibition has been forgotten. Even Eliot Ness must have realized that turning ordinary citizens into criminals was a failed policy.
If the state had ten supermarket chains would we call it a monopoly?
Headline: Ohio cities starved for cash to fix streets and bridges. Hmm.
