MARIJUANA BUSTS GIVE WEED ADDED VALUE

Re: "Police weed out 500 plants in Fincastle marijuana bust," March 19
news story:

I'm sure that many marijuana growers and sellers are thankful to the
Virginia State Police 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 almost as much as pure gold
- -- and completely tax free.

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