US HI: PUB LTE: Respect Up in Smoke

Hawaii Tribune Herald, 03 Oct 2010 – While sentencing pot-grower Matthew Bottorff, Circuit Judge Glenn Hara was reported to have lectured the defendant (Tribune-Herald, Sept. 25). "What bothers me about marijuana," says the judge, "is not so much marijuana itself. I’m not saying that marijuana necessarily, chemically, leads to other drugs. It psychologically leads to disregard of marijuana laws, which leads to disregard of other laws concerning drugs."
