Through the Windows I take her by the arm and walk her across the hallway to her bedroom as quiet as I can. I nudge her in and shut the door halfway. “On the bed,” I tell her. She obeys while I start rummaging through all the drawers, making sure Perry didn’t miss anything, looking for something. But nothing.

Now the owner of the yard is unemployed with no way to support his family (Nadelmann). The same war that failed to control booze has failed to control marijuana.
