The individuals given the authority to curtail the drug problem waited too long to stop the drug dealings before it reached proportions of such magnitude. Look at what's taken place in Mexico and elsewhere. Sooner or later, Hawaii will be the next place to experience an out-of-control influx of drug problems.
