A variety of activists’ groupswere represented at the festival,including the Drug Policy Forumof Hawai‘i and Revolution Books.One video, playing at the AnimalRights Hawai‘i booth, showed thebutchering of chickens inside aslaughterhouse. Throughout the day, pub-lic speakers took the podium atCampusCentertotalkabouthumanrightsandpolitics.
“George Bush said SaddamHussein needs to be taken downbecause he’s obsessed with war.Well, what about Cheney?”asked one local activist, CarolynHadfield. “How can anybody that livesinHawai‘i,thatknowsoftheover-throw, believe this hypocrisy?”Hadfield said. “Let’s stop beingstupid!” Asked if she could empha-size any one part of her message,
Hadfield answered, “We have tomobilize.Ouronlyotheralternativeis war or environmental devasta-tion.” In addition to speakers,booths and music, the third floorofCampusCenterpresentedanartshow. Films were also played alldayatHemenwayTheatrefrom10a.m.to4p.m..

Ka Leo O Hawai‘i
By Neal PaisMichigan Daily(U. Michigan)
(U-WIRE) ANN ARBOR, Mich. — Before you get yourself sucked into your next No Doz-fueled highlighting binge, perhaps you should treat your-self to a break. Suggestion: Instead of that pesky Econ homework, crack open a book on everyone’s favorite herb. The book is the latest journalistic foray into illicit botany. “Pot Planet” is a sort of contemporary “Around the World in 80 Days” with a wee bit o’ reefer to make globetrotting even sweeter. Written by Vancouver native Brian Preston, a frequent contributor to the likes of Playboy, Vogue and Rolling Stone, the book takes its readers on a fun jaunt through the journalist’s hometown and a host of exotic locales such as Morocco, Nepal and, of course, stoner-friendly Amsterdam. The tone of the book is lightheart-ed yet distinctly professional — a unique feature in the annals of drug-related literature. Most teetotalers of THC (active component in cannabis) will probably assume that Preston’s unadorned travel narrative is simply another cheap druggie’s trip report. But “Pot Planet” is actually a truly fascinating look at the most pot-friendly cultures of the world. In fact, after a few short chapters, readers will find that the book is mainly centered on the serious cultural features of the countries that are discussed. Particularly enlightening are his accounts of quasi-religious can-nabis use in Southeast Asia and the new “cafe” culture that is spreading across Australia. You can even apply the tedious economic theories you reluctantly consume at Lorch to the
intricacies of the pot trade. Written during a period with decriminalization in sight for just about every industrialized nation on Earth (except our third of North America), “Pot Planet” helps to dis-solve many of the stigmas that can-nabis possesses. Brian Preston’s credentials as a serious reporter, editorialist and trav-eler make the book more palatable for staunch conservatives, reform skep-tics and nonbelievers in the world’s most widely consumed recreational natural substance. Preston deftly avoids the lowbrow aspects of pot culture, opting to infuse his commen-tary with real cultural value rather than attempting to draw the reader-ship of the least common denomina-tor. In addition, readers might also realize that the “weed” moniker for marijuana is remarkably appropriate — it really is everywhere. Except the weed that Preston is talking about doesn’t seem to piss that many people off.
