Anyone else believes in the concept of the freedom of choice? Especially if that choice does not harm the rights of others. I don't like casino gambling like Vegas. Don't these people know that the odds are in the casino's favor? Probability wise no player in the long run is supposed to be a winner in casino games. However, poker is a gambling game that in the long run the winners are determined not just by luck but by skill. The house just takes a rake or percentage for hosting the game to players. Notice how they show people playing hours of poker on T.V.? No one is airing hours of people playing black jack, slots, or craps.
Then how about pakalolo. Did you know that Hawaii due to its location and geographic conditions provide one of the best spots in the world to grow pakalolo? If the Federal Govt. decided to legalize pakalolo, I think without a doubt Hawaii would be one of if not the biggest benefactor of that shift in policy. So right now we are one of the biggest losers to it being illegal. However, the state from their perspective could send the message here to the citizens that we recognize the legalization of pakalolo as a way to for Hawaii to achieve independent economic benefit. Plus with all the States offering some form of legal pakalolo for medical reasons and also allowing a care taker or co-op to grow and provide pakalolo for these patients in need, why couldn't Hawaii right now play a role? Even if the Feds won't allow it, our State govt. should let its intentions to everyone be known that its preparing and working toward pakalolo's eventual legalization.
Don't let the Feds intimidate us by cutting federal funding for highways or military spending, etc. We're not fools, they'll still spend money for the military here, we're a strategic location remember? And even if they did cut it, I'm sure it won't be missed by a lot of residents. Maybe due to the increase in revenue to the State from pakalolo, would make up for any lost federal funding? Forget high-tech, if you understand economics, you have to ask yourself if Hawaii has a comparative advantage there? I don't think so. But I definitely think that if we had to compete with the rest of the world, we do have a comparative advantage with pakalolo. The State should also consider that if it legalized pakalolo it would not need to waste its law enforcement resources on such as harmless drug and focus more on the ice epidemic. And if the Feds wanted to take a different view, let them spend on all the money cracking down on pakalolo, that means more money spent in the State by the Feds right?
So please Hawaii residents think about it. If independently we came to the conclusion that pakalolo is no good for society and it should be illegal, then that's fine. But let's not let the reason be because the Feds decided that conclusion for us.
