ARRESTED MARIJUANA GROWERS, SELLERS, WILL SOON BE REPLACED

Dear Editor,

I'm writing about the Feb. 7 article, "Two people arrested in marijuana bust."

I'm sure many marijuana growers and sellers are thankful to the
Humboldt County Drug Task Force and the Humboldt County Sheriff's
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.
