I'm sure that many marijuana growers and sellers are thankful to the Clark-Skamania Drug Task Force for uprooting 3,300 marijuana plants. Without operations like this, marijuana would be worth what other easy-to-grow weeds are worth, very little. Thanks to the Drug Enforcement Administration and other so-called "drug warriors," the easy-to-grow weed is worth more than pure gold and completely tax free. Any marijuana growers or sellers arrested will soon be replaced; they always are. Kirk Muse Mesa, AZ - --- MAP posted-by: Jo-D
