Harassment by helicopter and law enforcement arresting and prosecuting adult personal cultivation of up to 24 cannabis plants could soon be a thing of the past in Hawaii County since we approved a "Lowest law Enforcement Priority Of Cannabis Ordinance" last election day. See http://www.peacefulskyalliance.org . Mayor Billy Kenoi announced recently that Hawaii County has ended its involvement in the marijuana eradication program after 30-plus years. Ask him.
The federal government's newly confirmed drug czar was Seattle's chief of police for the last eight years and oversaw the resounding success of their "Lowest Law Enforcement Priority of Cannabis Ordinance."
The final straw might be when the general public becomes aware of the safe, effective, inexpensive cancer-curing ability of cannabis (Google the Rick Simpson story "Run From the Cure") and the government's own patent on the plant! The war on marijuana will finally be over and organic growers of the natural herbal medicine and sacrament will be rightfully honored. May the last marijuana trial in Hawaii history be yesterday. Amen. |
