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." Ross Moody Waialua - --- MAP posted-by: Jay Bergstrom
