Statement on ice addiction and related issues
The Interfaith Alliance Hawai'i supports the
recommendations of the Lt. Governor’s Drug Summit and of the
Legislative Force on Ice.
We believe that addiction to crystal methamphetamine and other
drugs and alcohol is a public health issue, and needs to be
addressed by the community holistically.
Prevention, treatment, community mobilization, and law
enforcement all have roles to play in fighting addiction and
related problems. Those efforts compliment each other and
need to be kept in balance.
