Time to think about the economic and tax benefits of pakalolo tourism! Just do some milling around in Seattle, Portland, or Boulder, Colorado. You'll see the slick brochures competing for attention with the perennial Ripley's Believe It Or Not, and all the other tourist attractions. Remember those Grey Line day-tours that you maybe went on when you were a kid on vacation with your parents? Those are still around, but there's a new twist - Pot/MJ/Kush bus tours that take folks on a full day of visiting recreational MJ shops, legal growing operations and, of course, munchie stops along the way. I'm really surprised Hawaii hasn't jumped on the recreational marijuana gravy train. Maybe time for some "emergency" legislation. Hey, there's been winery and brewery bus tours for decades, and not many of those have gone out of business. At least the pakalolo tourists will be inclined to stay on the Big Island instead of a 6-8 hour cruise ship visit where everyone is herded back on board before the ship sails away.
