r <br /> ~ <br /> Bethea, Skip <br /> From: William G Kunstman [wkunstma@hawaii.edu] <br /> Sent: Wednesday, March 16, 2005 11:27 AM <br /> <br /> To: counciltestimony@co.hawaii.hi.us <br /> Subject: Cannabis Eradication Budget <br /> <br /> Aloha kakou, <br /> I humbly request that the council seperate the cannabis eradication line item from <br /> <br /> the budget for the purpose of further dialogue regarding this important issue. <br /> Essentially, government participation in cannabis eradication is futile for basic <br /> economic reasons: increasing scarcity in a black market increases the price and <br /> provides a greater incentive for entrepenuers to enter the market. Therefore, <br /> <br /> whether government spends $3,000 or $3,000,000 the effect is counter <br /> productive. Please consider spending this money on education, prevention, and <br /> <br /> treatment instead. <br /> Mahalo, <br /> William Kunstman <br /> Comm. No. / ( 3 <br /> Ref.
