The answers to our economic woes lie before us. Step one: Legalize selling of marijuana to those with medical marijuana licenses. Tax and profit from sales will be in the billions. Step two: Honor medical marijuana licenses from other states so they can purchase while vacationing here. The tourist industry would be stimulated as people from around the world would flock to Hawaii to sample Hawaii's largest agricultural product --marijuana. Step three: Honor all same sex marriages. Step four: Legalize gambling with casinos and lotteries. The tax profit work again generate billions of dollars. Step five: Reopen our schools immediately. This plan will pay for it all. Any left over can be spent on roads. Robert Gentzel Mountain View - --- MAP posted-by: Richard R Smith Jr
