DRUG BUSTS SIMPLY BOOST STREET PRICES

I'm writing about the recent article headlines "Traffic stop turns
into marijuana bust," published June 21.

I'm sure many marijuana growers and sellers are thankful to the
Vermillion County sheriff's deputy 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.

The marijuana trafficker arrested will soon be replaced. They always
are.
