Box 884 <br /> Naalehu, HI 96772 <br /> <br /> <br /> To Hawaii Legislators, Lawmakers, and Peace ONcers, <br /> <br /> 1 am in support of resolution No. 328-98, Communication No. 990 to accept federal grant <br /> money for marijuana enforcement efforts. <br /> <br /> I believe in a two pronged effort to deal with the problems of marijuana in our state. <br /> 1) Search and destroy marijuana fields, collect evidence for prosecution, but do <br /> ldaspray plants as this can be environmentally unsound and destroys evidence <br /> allotiving the grower to find land elsewhere. <br /> 2) I believe drug use and marijuana use is similar to trends seen in the tobacco <br /> industry where children are targeted by suppliers to build up future clientele <br /> for drugs. We need funds for drug education and alternatives for school <br /> children. <br /> I see a trend toward increased violence here as regards to situations involving drugs. <br /> Especially hard hit are the people out of jobs due to closures of sugar plantations. <br /> <br /> Finally. for our state to sunive and prosper as a tourist destination, we need to assure <br /> safety for our tourists who wish to hike, bike, and swim without concern for fields of <br /> marijuana set with booby traps. <br /> <br /> Thank you, <br /> <br /> <br /> Chris Boudreau <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> s ~ o - <br />
