TAXES CURB MARIJUANA

I read with interest the article about all the marijuana plants found
in this area.

However, I found the following statistics from the February American
Legion magazine very amazing.

In 2001, 316,441 marijuana plants were seized in national forests.
This was done with $5.32 million in U.S. Forest Service
expenditures.

In 2010, 3.1 million marijuana plants were seized in these forests.
This was done with $15.9 million in U.S. Forest Service
expenditures.

Just thought I'd let you know how some of our taxes are being spent
and why.
