POT BUST

To the editor:

The media have been very excited about this latest pot bust involving
several grow houses ("Police raid grow houses, seize $5.6 million in
marijuana" Jan. 29 Review-Journal). It would be interesting to compare
how much time, money and resources were used for this bust with the
amount of profit Colorado has earned from the sale of pot during that
same period of time.

What happens to the confiscated pot? That is a lot of street value.
Why not sell it to Colorado, which appears to be running low? The
profit could reimburse the Metropolitan Police Department for its
expenses and be used for the criminals' public defenders.
