This just has me shaking my head. It's such a sad situation. I believe help is needed on many fronts to include acute action from the government; however, more fundamentally, individuals need to make better choices. Outside of the mentally ill who may not be able to grasp the ramifications of their choices, there are a lot of people who, because of their choices, are costing society tons of resources -- resources that could otherwise be spent on making Hawaii even a better place to live. Not to minimize the non-financial aspects of this and other related incidents, but the yearly cost to society of illicit drug usage in Hawaii is roughly $760 million. This figure includes costs of crime, lost work productivity and health care.  https://www.drugabuse.gov/related-topics/trends-statistics. If we could reduce this whopping figure, imagine what we could do. Where to start? School? Family? Suggestions?
