Editor: The Standard Re Grow operations keep police hopping, Apr. 19 It's ridiculous that we punish people for the drugs they use. One may as well roust off to jail all those with big feet. Are we better than Hitler because we persecute an innocent minority because of the drugs they use or the plant they grow rather than because of the religion they follow? Are we better than the Nazis because our drug laws threaten an innocent minority with fines or jail rather then with execution? I think not. Alan Randell, Victoria - --- MAP posted-by: Jackl
