MARIJUANA A LESSER EVIL THAN IGNORED HARD DRUGS

The police on the Big Island who refuse to acknowledge a bill passed
by voting residents are a disgrace. The bill does not legalize
marijuana, it just states that they will have to go after the
dangerous criminals first - those involved in the really dangerous
drugs instead of the slow, often hungry but usually much easier to
catch criminal.

Keep the pot offenses back down at the bottom of the totem pole where
they belong. Police who can not see the advantage to our community in
focusing the priority of arrest operations on heroin, ice, batu, meth,
crack and drunken drivers need to re-examine their own morals.

Is it that they are more scared of ice users, too lazy to run after a
crackhead or just don't want to bother the heroin dealers? A few years
back an ice operation on Maui was broken up. Police are naive to think
they wiped out all of ice on Maui and yet they waste two years' time
and money going after sick potheads?

Come on, folks, let's be a little bit smarter. Weed, beer and
cigarettes are a problem for parents to deal with, freeing up the cops
to focus on true criminals.
