Letters To The Editor

DRUG BUST DIARY

I have a great idea. Let's pull the DEA, state and local agents who have 
been busting medical marijuana cooperatives and patients by the score and 
put them to work in the Central Valley against methamphetamine production 
('Meth Lab Crackdown Dealt a Setback," Jan. 20). It seems police would 
prefer spending their time and our tax dollars busting peaceful small-time 
marijuana growers rather than take on scary meth manufacturers.

Instead of crying for federal money, why not redirect our resources more in 
line with what the voters intended when they passed Proposition 215 in 1996?
