UP IN SMOKE

Dear Editor,

In regard to last week's "Pot busts smoke out 300 plants," I'm sure that
many marijuana growers, sellers and traffickers are thankful to the Santa
Clara Specialized Enforcement Team for these recent pot busts and others
like them.

Without pot busts like these, marijuana would be worth what other
easy-to-grow weeds are worth very little.

Thanks to the Drug Enforce-ment Administration and other so-called
"drug-warriors," the easy to grow weed is more valuable than pure gold and
completely tax free.

Any marijuana growers, sellers or traffickers arrested will soon be
replaced. They always are.
