MARIJUANA ARRESTS HAVE ADVERSE EFFECT

I'm writing about: "Bust nets marijuana," Jan. 24.

I'm sure that many marijuana growers and sellers are thankful to the
Council Bluffs Police Department for this latest marijuana bust and
others like it.

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, sellers or traffickers arrested will soon be
replaced. They always are.
