'DRUG WARRIORS' RAISE VALUE OF MARIJUANA

This concerns the Sept. 15 story headlined, "Nearly 4,000 plants
netted."

I'm sure that many marijuana growers and sellers are thankful to the
Greenup County Sheriff's Department for this latest marijuana
eradication effort 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 it's completely tax free.

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