A COSTLY WEED

After reading a March 16 news story, "Flower Mound couple arrested in
pot bust," I'm sure that many marijuana growers and sellers are
thankful to the Texas Department of Public Safety and the Flower Mound
Police Department 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 more than pure gold --
and completely tax free.

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