One aspect of this that does effect our area is the wealth that legalized cannabis policies would create for mainstream Hawaii.
I saw an article on mapinc.org stating that cannabis is now California's largest cash crop. Hundreds of Hawaii farmers and licensed retailers could make millions, plus, since production is highly labor intensive, the wealth would spread through much of the community, as it does in California and elsewhere.
Cannabis consumers are much like wine consumers, always interested in new and regional strains, so Hawaii producers could tap into huge a national market and demand would be very high.
Big Island coffee shops would also draw canna-tourists. In Holland, it's a one billion dollar a year industry with a huge tourist component.
With the coming US Depression, this is a change (one of many) we should demand from our legislators and the Obama Administration.
Oh, yes, Glenfiddich is da bess.
