Hawaii Police Say MMJ is a Drug Front
November 20th, 2008 by Perry
Hawaiian police recently arrested seven individuals for allegedly running a drug smuggling operation, that law enforcement is saying operated under the guise of a medical marijuana organization.
The leader of the group claims the arrests are the result of a lawsuit he filed against state police. Under Hawaii state law, a physician can recommend marijuana use for a patient with a debilitating disease and allow a patient to have seven marijuana plants and up to three ounces of marijuana.
Brian Murphy filed a lawsuit in order to get money back that was seized by police, cliaming money seized in a raid was collected legally under the state’s law. Police seized 335 marijuana plants, 2,300 grams of processed marijuana, 4,830 grams of unprocessed marijuana, 32 grams of hashish, 100 marijuana-laced candies, and more than $14,000 in cash from several homes and businesses.
Hawaii Says Aloha to Marijuana Laws
November 6th, 2008 by Perry
I should clear that up, since Aloha can mean “greetings” or “farewell.” Technically, Hawaii hasn’t eradicated decriminalized marijuana, but it’s telling law enforcement to look the other way when it comes to cannabis. And if that sounds unclear, it is.
By a vote of 53.1 percent to 38.6 percent, Hawaiian residents voted to make marijuana the lowest law enforcement priority. In my opinion, it’s not necessarily a complete positive because under the new law:
…would put the enforcement of laws against marijuana to each police officer’s personal discretion.
That sounds like a dangerously unclear situation bound to cause legal issues, especially when the district attorney comes out against the law for the right reasons.
Prosecuting Attorney Jay Kimura said that it posed a danger for law enforcement officials:
I’m opposed to passage of this. I don’t believe it’s enforceable as written.
Medical Marijuana: Hawaiian Sativa

Hawaiian Sativa is something that looks like it just unloaded off a plane from Hawaii. A nice, plump piece of the big island!
| theFreshScent Product Recap | |
|---|---|
| Strain | Hawaiian Sativa |
| Type | Sativa dominant |
| Pros | Peaceful high |
| Cons | High could be stronger |
| Price | $20/g, $60/8th |
| tFS Rating | 7.5/10 |
The high isn’t as long lasting as you would hope for, but it does give you a great peaceful feeling for about an hour. Sure does help after a long day of work. Overall, it doesn’t pack the biggest punch but it does what is needed for a nice, relaxing evening.
This is one of those random strains you come across once in awhile, not living in the Hawaiian islands, this is relatively an inexpensive buy. A good looking, great tasting, and nice smelling bud that could use a little more kick.
Middle School Teachers Blaze Before Class
December 6th, 2006 by TimTwo faculty members, who teach at Mililani Middle School in Hawaii, allegedly had a sesh before their school day began.
Lisa Luhrsen and Benjamin Ayson were spotted in a car off-campus by an unidentified witness, who reported the two of suspicious behavior. Later, they were both observed under the influence of marijuana and consequently, were arrested.
Both teachers are on paid leave of absence while law enforcement fully investigates the situation.
Let’s hope that Lisa and Benjamin majored in something like poetry or phys. ed., because being stoned is good for plenty things, but teaching math sure as hell isn’t one of them.
