ENFORCEMENT WASTES TAXPAYERS' MONEY

I was pleased to read that the Big Island is going to vote on
marijuana enforcement priorities. Most of the anti-marijuana laws are
based on lies and faulty research. For example, if marijuana is
addictive, then where are the bank robberies and stolen car rings
attributable solely to marijuana addiction?

The government is wasting tax dollars "stamping out the marijuana" and
the federal government wastes billions of tax dollars each year.
Millions upon millions of Americans have used marijuana. Where are all
the bad effects in the general population if marijuana is harmful?

The government in the nation's capital lies to us all the time; why
should we believe them, waste our tax dollars, and put people in jail
for puffing the weed?
