<br /> 11=16 98 MOS 16:23 FAX 9:9 9180 HPD KAl- ZOO, <br /> <br /> <br /> November 4, 1998 <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Dear county council members, <br /> <br /> My neighborhood was choked with pot growers and other <br /> <br /> drug dealers years ago when my family moved here to Mark <br /> Twain Estates in Rau. Thanks to the green harvest flights, <br /> <br /> the diligence of the Kau police and some active opposition <br /> to the drug dealers by local citizenry, our neighborhood is <br /> <br /> now livable. There are now far fewer assaults, threats, <br /> <br /> blocked roads and the paranoid behaviors that characterized <br /> our neighborhood and most places where drug activity is <br /> <br /> unchecked. We even have less mosquitoes (fewer uncovered <br /> <br /> barrels of irrigation water hidden in the woods). <br /> Recreational drug use is a sickness that needs to be <br /> <br /> treated and prevented. This :rust continue to be done more <br /> <br /> through school programs, supportive home environments, <br /> statements by public officials and law enforcement agencies. <br /> <br /> Anti-drug lags are mandated by federal policy and it makes <br /> <br /> sense that the feds shosid share the cost of eradicating <br /> illegal drugs. <br /> <br /> As most drug abusers admit, marijuana use leads to <br /> <br /> consumption of other dangerous dregs. By hitting hard at <br /> marijuana we can nip problems with harder drugs in the bud. <br /> <br /> ?lease vote to continue to accept federal funds to aid in <br /> the fight against marijuana. <br /> <br /> Sincerely, <br /> <br /> 1 <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> roa 6.;7 <br /> Naalehu 1 96772 <br />
