Anagami,
Best of luck to you.
I'd lived on the Left Coast and then spent twenty seven years on Oahu. Wife and I moved to Puna two years ago. I have met more friendly, interesting, good hearted people here than in all my years elsewhere.
Whether at the supermarket or Ecstatic Dance, I've found the aloha so prevalent here that it is almost tangible.
Haven't seen any problems re. cannabis. The damage done to America from the use of alcohol, pharmacuticals, hard drugs and the laws that protect the hard drugs street market is well known and lamented by just about all.
Everyone's experience is different.
Best of luck to you and as they say, "There are no Buddhists. There are only people on the way."
Aloha!
P.S. The U.S murder rate as a percentage of the population is 4.5 times higher than in Holland.
Ciao!
