IS IT ANYONE'S BUSINESS WHAT PLANTS PEOPLE GROW?

ANDREW SEYMOUR writes typical unquestioning propaganda in his article "Drug
officers weed out pot" (Saturday Sun, Sept. 30) He doesn't mention the
human costs of the war on drugs, only the apparent glee of officers as they
steal private property and kill living plants, destroying lives in the
process. How many real criminals get away while the OPP spends money and
time pulling up plants and arresting growers? Why are our tax dollars being
spent to fund these vicious practices, when they could be diverted to
health care, education, social services, etc.? Is it anyone's business what
plants people grow in their back yards?
