A worthy cause, but not nearly enough. Medical cannabis (not medical “marijuana”) should be available through non profit buyer clubs who obtain the medicine through licensed growers. Community gardens with “facilitators” sounds needlessly complex and skirts the issue of readily available medicine, without guilt or shame, to be purchased as needed according to a physicians recommendation. As someone with a life threatening neurological condition that was basically cured by theraputic use of cannabis (I no longer need the herb for this condition), I do not want to bother with organized groups of fellow patients who are forced into such readily identifiable sub groupings possibly diminishing my privacy when considering medical issues and doctor patient priveledge in such matters. Such groups of community growers would also be a possible target of police or federal agent harrassment. Anonymous buyers of cannabis who register only with a private, legal, licensed non profit supplier “club” , not the government (you don’t need a card for deadly, dangerous and addictive vicodin) protects the individual from unconstitutional searches and seizures by malicious idealogues who base their violent animosity toward cannabis based mostly on irrational religious beliefs they are taught as children , reinforced by vested interests in pharmaceutical , tobacco and alchohol industries.

The requirement to register with the police in hawaii is absurd. In California, recommending physicians do not suggest that any registration is advisable there and most cannabis buyer clubs don’t require state id card (in california, one does not register with the police for a card), only the physicians approval letter.

More absurdly, a judge on the big island gave a sentance of 40 years to a cannabis grower with out any criminal history of any kind in the person’s record. Was any of the cannabis he was growing part of a medical market, one wonders? Meanwhile, the newspapers here report a crank dealer who was busted near an elementary school and who shot and wounded another man in a drive by shooting is out on his own recognizance and will probably be given a suspended sentence of a year in jail for selling crank. The judges in Hawaii give child molesters 5 years in prison, yet the cannabis grower 40 years? Who is the judge? what is his record? where is the outrage? A hawaiian gentleman who won a parking lot fight with one punch in a case of mutual combat with a military enlisted man was sentenced to 5 years in prison, same as the playground child molester. I moved here about 10 months ago and have monitored the hawaiian judiciary and police actions of late and we have something really wrong with the judiciary.

thanks for your good efforts in bringing sanity to this issue. I have been without medical cannabis for 10 months now for extreme pain of herniated disc condition becuase I just refuse to approach any “dealer” types etc, I would not even know how to get it this way. A buyer’s club is easy, fast and no guilt or shame associated with it. I am 52 years old. How in the hell does an older terminal cancer patient, for instance, get medical cannabis here?

“Marijuana” is a perjorative label used by the main stream media to categorize patients as “marijuan users”. Using the botanical name of the plant in connection with its medical use is perhaps a better way to frame the issue in these types of forums or interest groups. Physicians routinely refer to the herb as medical cannabis to avoid this stereotypical mass media hype.

Send copies of O’Shaughnasey’s (my spelling may be off here) journal of medical cannabis to the state legistlature in order to demonsrate the absurd nature of cannabis prohibition at least for medical use. Police and federal govt persecution of sick people in search of safe and sane relief as has been documented for thousands of years (only recently prohibited historically, while opium derivatives are in wide use still). Study cannabis theraputic and relief of conditions associated with many GI tract disorders, anti tumor therapy, it goes on and on. Sorry long winded a bit here…….

It is a sad day when alcohol is legal , drunks die in crashes an on can”t even smoke a joint !Too bad that taxation and extraction of canadian money is not hear yet althought canadians spent 5million on medi pot last year, Oh their water cant leave the country a banana cant leave hawaii either sad but truE , CALIFORNIA will soon vote in nov to change state law to allow sales and taxes upon 1 oz for adults grossing an esti. 1 billion in NEW revenue too bad HAWAII a bit too conservative , although HAWAIIANS KNOW HOW TO PARTYAND SEEM EXTRA SMART JC
