DRUG BUSTS JUST RAISE DRUG PRICE

Editor:

I 'm writing about: "OVER $18 MILLION IN MARIJUANA PLANTS SEIZED IN
DUPLIN CO" (4-29- 06).

I'm sure that many marijuana growers and sellers are thankful to the
Duplin and Wayne County sheriff's offices for this latest marijuana
bust and others like it.

Without operations like this, marijuana would be worth what other
easy-togrow 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.
