WHAT'S THE POINT OF DRUG BUSTS?

To the editor:

I'm writing about: "Police reveal details on how undercover work led to 480
pounds of marijuana" (Dec. 16).

I'm sure that many marijuana growers, sellers and traffickers are thankful
to the Attorney General's Drug Task Force 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 and traffickers arrested will soon be
replaced. They always are.
