Why do you not allow input from those who disagree with ridiculous assertions from the police? The drug war has been going on for decades and there is no sign the tide will turn any time soon. Besides, the cops want the drug war to continue because this is the way to increased budgets and power granted by gutless politicians and endorsed by powerful interests that call the shots for our so-called free press. Get a grip and try honest, objective reporting once in a while. Alan Randell (Nice try Alan, but we'll never endorse grow-ops.) - --- MAP posted-by: Terry Liittschwager
