HAWAII CLIMATE IDEAL FOR POT

Commercial cannabis (marijuana) in Colorado currently is grown 
indoors ("Like it or not, legalizing pot could be boon for local ag," 
Star-Advertiser, David Shapiro, Jan. 10).

However, it's reasonable to expect federal laws prohibiting cannabis 
to collapse in the future, and that will give Hawaii an advantage 
with its ideal climate.

Another thing that doesn't get mentioned is tourism. Millions of 
citizens across America are sick and tired of being persecuted, 
discriminated against and caged for using the relatively safe, 
extremely popular God-given plant.

Colorado has seen tourism increase substantially since ending 
cannabis prohibition. The sooner Hawaii re-legalizes the plant, the 
sooner its tourism likely will increase also.

Further, millions of citizens remember "Maui Wowie" and can hardly 
wait to smoke it legally.
