GOVERNOR SHOULD VETO ANY DRUG-TOLERANT BILLS

It has been a while since we had a governor whose family includes 
younger children.

Hopefully Gov. David Ige will envision "our home" as an extension of 
his own, and strongly oppose illegal drugs, especially the "gateway" 
drug of marijuana.

Our youth deserve to be launched into a society that corresponds to 
"just say no" and experience life with clear minds and healthy bodies.

Last year our Legislature dealt with drug proposals, including one 
that proposed making Hawaii a major supplier of marijuana that 
profits from selling to other communities.

It would be refreshing if our governor would state that he will veto 
any bill that relates to Hawaii being drug-tolerant.

That would put him in an alliance with Kamehameha III, who counseled 
that "the life of the land is perpetuated in righteousness."
