DRUG PRODUCERS THANKFUL FOR COPS

To the editor:

I'm writing about: "Marijuana crop worth millions."

I'm sure that many marijuana growers and sellers are thankful to the
Malheur County Sheriff's Office 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.
