[Q]: Patricia Blair: Instead of coming across as an insensitive hater, try tapping into the Aloha Spirit & have some empathy.

Public servants, especially on the Congressional level are saturated with many problems, cares & concerns. I would venture to say that it is quite a demanding job, especially for those who serve from Hawaii, having to travel all the way to D.C.

Mark Takai made a promise to his constituents & to the State of Hawaii to serve his term. He is keeping his promise. Many politicians who get voted into office, find a better opportunity, bails out of the office BEFORE their term ends. Then the public is outraged, for lack of commitment.

So, even in the face of a life threatening illness. Mark could step down, but then we the taxpayers would have to foot the bill for the special election!

Furthermore, what specific votes did Mark miss? We're those votes crucial for Hawaii? How many votes that had something to do with Hawaii did Mark miss?

HAMAU! (Peace be still!) Aloha!
[A]: No


[Q]: I've visited several dispensaries recently and I agree, they're long on schwag and short on knowledge. One answer is to secure a good grower. They're out there. Oddly, many folks think growers are dripping with money. Perhaps some are but most growers are barely making it pay. I grow medical grade, sun grown cannabis for my own use and for two others who are quite ill and physically unable to participate. We produce one crop annually that fills the jars for the coming year. My patients contribute financially to offset the fixed costs of stock acquisition, soil, amendments, propagation, water, labor, drying, curing, weighing, etc.  It's production farming so I recommend getting as close to the source as possible and avoid the dispensary blues.

No
