First, Mayor William Kenoi announced recently that Hawaii County had ended its involvement in the "marijuana eradication program" after 30-plus years. Second, the federal government's newly confirmed drug czar was Seattle's chief of police for the last eight years and oversaw the resounding success of the city's Lowest Law Enforcement Priority of Cannabis Ordinance. See http://www.seattle.gov/council/licata/up/244.htm for details. The final straw might be when the general public becomes aware of the safe, effective, inexpensive cancer-curing ability of cannabis - Google the Rick Simpson story "Run From the Cure" - and the government's own patent on the plant! The war on marijuana will finally be over and organic growers of the natural herbal medicine will be rightfully honored. Roger Christie Founder, THC Ministry Hilo - --- MAP posted-by: Jo-D
