'Ditch-Weed' Not Worth Buying
When I read "Officer bids for pot pact," May 28, my mind became
saturated with questions regarding the moral of this story. When it
was profitable to "bust" innocent people for growing this natural
"health providing" plant for some, this ex-cop did that. And now that
the government is crying for bidders to make what I'm sure will be a
handsome profit, this man steps forward again.
Are there any ethics shown here? This is all about profit! The writer
makes it clear the herb the ill are using has a potency between
10-25%, while the government is planning on growing ditch weed at 6%
THC potency. Anyone can grow low-grade cannabis. I will never trust
any government that saw fit to incarcerate me for trying to heal
myself, nor will I buy the ditch weed that they have for sale!
