I'm sure many marijuana growers and sellers are thankful to the Merced Multi-Agency 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 or traffickers arrested will soon be replaced. They always are. KIRK MUSE Mesa, Ariz. - --- MAP posted-by: Steve Heath
