MARIJUANA ERADICATION LED TO ICE'S POPULARITY

In response to Sally Good's Jan. 31 letter regarding ice and kudos to Peter
Carlisle for trying to find ways to curb the use of ice in Hawai'i:
Something was missing, and that was that society is always going to have
people who will be chemically dependent on something.

It's just unfortunate that because of the eradication of pot by the
government, ice has become the drug of choice because of cost. If pot were
still relatively cheap, then we wouldn't have so many people on ice.

Maybe we just need the federal government to leave our crops alone.
