HEAD SHOPS

(Re: News "Head shops beware," March 1-7) I am a medical patient in Oregon 
who has shopped over the internet to buy tobacco paraphenalia in Colorado. 
Do not worry about the DEA, because they work for the American people. I am 
a medical marijuana user. I called the local DEA office recently and spoke 
to agent OEJim'. I told him I was growing medical marijuana in my garage 
right now. I asked why the DEA is not coming over to bust me? In other 
words: Since I have a permit I paid the State of Oregon for, I seriously 
doubt the DEA will show up at my door and take the medical marijuana.The 
local media and watchdog groups would jump on them like Tigger would. When 
the people fear its government, then there is tyranny. "When the government 
fears its people, that is liberty"-Thomas Jefferson

Regarding your news story about the feds cracking down on headshops: Oh 
wow...I am really suprised, asshole.
