James,
A big Mahalo, bra.
I've followed this issue very closely for around fifteen years and have been hoping for the day when people wake up and end this subsidy for the black market in drugs, (the "Golden" Prohibition laws).
Actually, the whole truth about the drug war is worse than what I post, (but it's well documented on the web), but all across the country now, I see change for the better taking place.
If we could have an honest, informed, regular column in the local papers educating folks, we could fix this a lot sooner, imho.
Richard Cowen's wonderful, marijuananews.com site's postings would make for a great regular column in the Trib.
I do harp a lot about this issue on punaweb and try to avoid taxing peoples patience who may not see this as an important issue, but I really do think one of the best things we could do for our communities and country would be to rid ourselves of the black market in street drugs.
The only way to accomplish that is to strip the hard drugs of their artificial, Prohibition created value.
It would be so easy.
Anyway, thanks very much for your kind words and all the best to us all.
Aloha!
