Can you rewrite this, but with more of an 1890's drawing-room mini-
drama feel to it? Something with lots of really earnestly didactic
dialogue, in which the police convince the offenders of the dangers of
marihuana (please, "weed" just doesn't sound right - it has to be
"marihuana" - yes, with an "h" - else it's not truly Traprockian, and
thus not for me).
