Marijuana is an illegal substance, and people find some way or excuse to get their hands on it. For recreational use or for medicinal purposes, marijuana has been in Hawaii for a very long time. It's not only marijuana, on occasion kids bring alcohol and even prescription drugs to school. Whether it's bringing them to sell illegally or to use, it's been happening for a very long time. Although the kids may not think it is a big deal, possession of illegal drugs will not be taken lightly if caught. So, smoke if you want to, but if you get caught, you better hope you have nice parents or enough money for bail. Joshua Pidot Kihei - --- MAP posted-by: Richard Lake
