I was very disappointed with the Obama administration. It sends a message to all states that it is OK to legalize marijuana, even through federal laws prohibit such activities. Those who fight illegal drugs have all the peer research, including the health hazards of marijuana on our children. We spend billions of dollars a year to fight that fight, and our president and his attorney general do little to support that effort. The president swore to uphold the U.S. Constitution and the laws of this country. He chooses not to. Anyone who believes that this country is worth saving from illegal drugs, including marijuana, should call and volunteer at The Coalition for a Drug Free Hawaii.
