GROWERS APPRECIATIVE

I'm writing about The Columbian's Aug. 14 police report "Pot Plants
Uprooted." I'm sure that many marijuana growers and sellers are thankful to
the Clark-Skamania Drug Task Force for uprooting 3,300 marijuana plants.

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 or sellers arrested will soon be replaced; they
always are.
