0 0 <br /> DECEMBER 21, 1998 <br /> Janet Rychener <br /> PO Box 186 <br /> Naalehu, HI 96772 <br /> County Council <br /> County of Hawaii <br /> 25 Aupuni Street <br /> Hilo, HI 96720 <br /> Dear Council Member, <br /> I am concerned for the future of my grand children. I learned that the council is holding <br /> hearings about marijuana eradication. <br /> I support the marijuana eradication program. Marijuana is unhealthy for the youth and <br /> could lead to other more serious types of drug use. <br /> Please continue drug education. I also want more alternatives for the youth so we can <br /> keep them away from temptation. I want my grand children to grow up in an <br /> environment as free as possible from the influences of marijuana. <br /> A reduction in marijuana will lead to a reduction in violence. Marijuana patches are a <br /> danger to hikers, hunters, plant gatherers, and neighbors of growing areas who may <br /> stumble across the patches and growers. <br /> I want funding to enhance substance abuse treatment centers. I think in -jail therapy <br /> programs for prisoners would help them to develop coping skills and insights into their <br /> drug abuse. <br /> I want the eradication program to continue aerial spraying, if it is effective in destroying <br /> the marijuana crop. <br /> Thank you for your consideration. <br /> Sincerely, <br />
