POT GOOD AS GOLD

Are we supposed to be surprised that when government makes an 
easy-to-grow weed almost as valuable as gold, lots of people will 
take advantage of the situation ("Pot fields springing up like weeds 
in North Texas," Aug. 3)?

If marijuana were legal, our government could collect billions of 
dollars in taxes instead of throwing billions down the drain in a 
futile attempt to nullify the law of supply and demand.
