Description
Hosted by Lance Chase, this episode of Focus Hawaii features George Auflick, a Drug Enforcement Administration investigator with the U.S. Department of Justice, in an in‑depth discussion of drug trafficking, law enforcement, and substance abuse issues in Hawai‘i and the mainland United States. Drawing on his experience overseeing an airport task force and conducting undercover operations, Auflick explains how drugs such as marijuana and cocaine are transported into Hawai‘i, outlines current trends in drug use, and describes the dangers associated with both substances—including psychological, physical, and social consequences. He emphasizes the growing role of education in reducing drug use among young people, while also addressing the risks faced by law enforcement officers and the increasing sophistication of drug distribution methods. The conversation highlights emerging threats such as crack cocaine, the impact of drug culture and media portrayal, and the importance of personal responsibility and awareness, particularly among youth, in combating drug abuse and its effects on individuals, families, and communities.
