I'm sure that many marijuana growers and sellers are thankful to CNMI-DEA task force and the Department of Public Safety 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. Kirk Muse Mesa , AZ - --- MAP posted-by: Josh
