KIDS SAY MARIJUANA IS STILL EASY TO GET

Your otherwise commendable editorial (Star-Bulletin, June 13) on the dangers
to youth of methamphetamine abuse is marred by your reference to Kat Brady's
claim that users have turned to meth because of Hawaii's marijuana
eradication campaign.

In a recent survey of 25,000 Hawaii students, 71 percent of high school
seniors stated that it would be "fairly easy" or "very easy" for them to get
marijuana. If Hawaii has a marijuana shortage, Brady is the only one aware
of it.
