GOVERNMENT'S WAR ON DRUGS DOESN'T GO AFTER THE REAL THREAT

Editor, The Auburn Plainsman:

With America fighting terrorism and being on the verge of war with Iraq one
can't help but wonder what kind of drugs the Federal Government might have
been ingesting when they decided to carry out raids on glass pipe
manufacturers and retailers in the recent "Operation Pipedreams."

What exactly were they trying to accomplish with such a thing? Do they
think that cannabis consumers will just sit around saying, "Dude they stole
my bong . now I can't get high anymore?"

There is more than one way to skin a cat.

Maybe someone should have told them that marijuana consumers tend to be
some exceedingly creative individuals who know how to use things like
tampon papers, toilet tissue rolls and aluminum cans to smoke pot.

Tampax, Charmin and aluminum can manufacturers take note . you could be next.

Let's face it . this most recent waste of tax dollars did nothing to stem
the flow of illegal drugs into this country and it did nothing to keep
people from smoking marijuana. It wasted a lot of money that would have
been better spent protecting us from real danger . bombs not bongs.
