The government arranged for the sales to be completed within 1,000 feet of school property, making the marijuana sales third-degree felonies That should be entrapment. It's just piling on... Derek

This one is about three blocks from me. Right in the heart of Waikiki. You can hardly get by it on the sidewalk. My waistline won't let me eat there. :>) Motley Fool - Cheesecake Topped With Earnings The company's latest crop has taken even less time than usual to recoup costs, since nearly all of last year's new units generated volumes that outpaced expectations. Apparently, Hawaiians in particular have a pronounced sweet tooth. The Honolulu location reported first-year sales of $18.9 million -- setting a new company record. fool.com

I live in Palm Beach County and this was in the local newspaper. Apparently they had very young looking Deputies go to HS as students, hang out awhile and start asking about drugs. I have mixed emotions about this. I know we DO have a drug problem in school, I have been told it even goes into the MIDDLE SCHOOLS. My nephew has an IQ of 147 which I guess is genius, yet he got into drugs and it nearly ruined his life. Kicked out of 3 colleges he finally was arrested. Ultimately they gave him two choices, either go to treatment and have his driving license suspended for 3 years or go to Prison. Obviously he took the former. He had to go to treatments AT HIS EXPENSE for 3 years and ride a bicycle then also. It straightened him out but he had the advantage of a strong family financially and emotionally. Anyhow, the bottom line is drugs in school are just AWFUL and even the best can get hooked. So, its kind of hard for me to have any pity on PUSHERS regardless of how they were caught. jdn
