POT GROWERS WILL BE REPLACED BY OTHERS

Dear Editor,

I'm writing about: "Agents raid marijuana operation in Alderpoint"
published Jan. 5 online.

I'm sure that many marijuana growers, sellers and traffickers are thankful
to the Humboldt County Sheriff's Office's Drug Enforcement Unit and the
Humboldt County Drug Task Force for this recent marijuana bust and others
like it.

Without pot busts 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 more valuable than pure gold -- and
completely tax free.

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