Dear Soft Secrets

"Dear Soft Secrets,

I was just opening the door to my plants and they came from everywhere, with guns out and all. They came from bushes, cars and a van and there must have been 20 cops. All that for a few plants. It broke my heart because it was my 3rd crop and they had grown quicker than ever before, that's down to what I learned from your Growing for Dummies series. So all you growers out there take extra care. You never know when the cops will come calling. This is my 2nd time caught in 10 years. My wife will continue to grow while I'm locked up. Fuck them! They can never stop me growing or smoking blow."

The Editor's reply:

"It's a fucked up world, Danny... People are binge drinking every weekend, puking, pissing, swearing, fighting and brawling all the way on the streets and into their own houses, every year thousands of people get killed, maimed, brutalized, raped, beaten or land in a wheelchair for the rest of their lives as a direct or indirect result of alcohol consumption, and what does the government do? They spend millions prosecuting and incarcerating peaceful and (otherwise) law-abiding people who have this one hobby: growing a plant and smoking her fruits... Anyway, hang in there buddy! A solemn salute to you from all staff and readers at Soft Secrets."
