PUNA BUTTER II

Two letters to the editor assert there is no marijuana shortage ( Letters, "No pakalolo shortage," HW, 8/14 ).  Are these people still hitting the pipe? I'm no M.B.A., but this is a simple economics concept that even George W.  could follow.

The scarcity of supply, caused by Green Harvest's success, has driven the price of marijuana sky-high.  While it is clearly still available to those who can pay the price, it is so expensive the people might choose another cheaper drug.  Ice for example.  The evidence of the success is the incredible rise in the cost of marijuana since inception of Green Harvest.  This is much more than anecdotal evidence.
