This is contrary point of view, but it’s always interesting to know what opponents of legalization are thinking and feeling… HB321: Marijuana on the Move in the Legislature

Dear Honorable Judge Kobayashi, My husband has taught me about Ho’oponopono, and has shown beautiful examples. We have consistently been using these principals, and I would like to say to you that I am sorry for any misunderstanding or unpleasantness that has arisen in the course of our interactions.

@@@ Hello out there, Aloha. I’m sorry to be critical of another human being who devotes his life to world peace, but when the Dalai Lama, one of the most respected religious leaders of the century makes obvious and repeated errors of judgment about Cannabis and slanders our holy sacrament I feel the need to […]

I just saw Obama’s tv interview with Jake Tapper on CNN. Obama DID say that “marijuana should be treated as a PUBLIC HEALTH PROBLEM”; that’s a BIG change in the un-official ‘classification’!

I just read in Saturday’s Star-Advertiser that one of the bills to ‘improve’ the state medical marijuana law has passed, BUT … 1.) it’s to transfer the medical marijuana program from the prison department to the Health Department beginning in 2015. 2.) it’s to increase the amount of herbal […]

@@@ It’s been there the whole time. :-O OMG! Hello out there, Aloha. Looking in the law library computer this afternoon our friend Chico Martines decided to go to the basics and simply look-up the federal definition of ‘marijuana’. We both heard B.E. Smith say this on WEED WARS tv show on the Discovery Channel […]

1.) Cannabis is reportedly the most commonly-used spiritual / religious sacrament in human history. In our opinion it must be legal for religious reasons in the only country on Earth founded on principles of religious freedom. 2.) The are photos of antique legal Cannabis medicine bottles from reputable U.S. pharmaceutical companies available online. How about […]
