POT GROWER NOT A 'REAL' CRIMINAL

I'm writing about: "Police Beat: Man arrested on cannabis charge"
(7-31-09). I'm sure many marijuana growers, sellers and traffickers are
thankful to the Freeport Police Department for this latest pot bust and
others like it.

Without actions like this, the easy-to-grow weed would be worth what
other easy-to-grow weeds are worth-- very little.

The 55.7 grams sounds like a lot, but it's actually less than two
ounces. For this heinous crime, the taxpayers of Freeport are paying
for the room and board and education on how to become a "real"
criminal. The gentleman arrested will come out of jail knowing how to
bypass burglar alarms and all sorts of other useful
information.
