Multiple DEA Raids Target Marijuana in Hawaii

I found this paroozing the web:

It seems the battle for our MMJ rights in Hawaii is heated and not without resistance.
California and prop 215 used as example of how dispensaries are not good for Hawaii. Fear mongers are on the attack!

Isles warned over medical marijuana

L.A. police detail pitfalls in Wailuku talk as some lawmakers reject their claims

By MELISSA TANJI, Staff Writer

WAILUKU - Hawaii could see an increase in crime and other economic fallout if it legalizes medical marijuana dispensaries and softens medical marijuana laws, two Los Angeles police officers warned Wednesday.

"It's so bad in L.A.," said Sgt. Eric Bixler of the Narcotics Division of the Los Angeles Police Department. He said law enforcement officials there deal daily with the effects of California's Proposition 215, which allows patient caregivers to possess and cultivate marijuana for personal medical use. People driving while smoking, and teens buying marijuana at dispensaries to resell on the street are just some of the problems caused by the law, the officers said.

Bixler and another Los Angeles officer were among the presenters at a Hawaii Medical Marijuana Summit offered Wednesday for law enforcement and other community members at Baldwin High School's multipurpose room. They appeared on behalf of the California Narcotic Officers' Association that trains law enforcement officials in narcotic enforcement activities.

The Hawaii State Legislature this year is considering several proposals that would loosen marijuana restrictions, including proposals that would allow the establishment of medical marijuana dispensaries.

Upcountry, East Maui, Molokai and Lanai Sen. J. Kalani English, who was among the lawmakers to introduce bills to loosen restrictions on marijuana, said his bills were different from California's medical marijuana laws because he was aware of some of the problems attributed to Proposition 215. He said he took the "best" features of medical marijuana legislation across the country to craft proposals that would have stricter controls on the drug and avoid pitfalls seen in other jurisdictions.

English's bills, one of which would legalize and tax dispensaries as a way of generating revenue for the state, and the other of which would decriminalize the possession of small amounts of marijuana, have passed from the Senate to the House for discussion.

English objected to the summit, saying the meeting only represented the views of medical marijuana opponents and was based only on the views of the Los Angeles Police Department. He felt that event organizers should have invited people with a variety opinions for a real dialogue about the issue.

"This whole thing is repugnant," he said. "What they are trying to do is skew what we are trying to do here."

English said he met with officials from all four Hawaii county police departments this week, and that all agreed that patients with serious illnesses should have access to marijuana, if they need it, but that they didn't want others to abuse medical marijuana laws.

Most of the presentations Wednesday were set to focus on Proposition 215, which was passed by California voters in 1996. The law allows patients and their caregivers with a valid doctor's approval to possess and cultivate marijuana for personal medical use. It also protects a system of collective and cooperative cultivation and distribution of marijuana.

Because the meeting was closed to journalists, Bixler and Detective Glenn Walsh of the Los Angeles Sheriff's Department Narcotics Division spoke to reporters outside the room.

Bixler said it's not uncommon to see someone "smoking out" while driving down the street, and that he has seen teenagers walk out of dispensaries with marijuana and sell the drug to their friends.

"We have more (marijuana) dispensaries than Starbucks," Walsh added, saying Los Angeles alone has around 900 to 1,000 dispensaries.

The two officers said there are many misconceptions about Proposition 215, including that it allows medical marijuana "dispensaries."

Some people have opened up dispensaries by claiming to be caregivers, they said.

Bixler said dispensaries or self-described "compassion centers" are actually "storefront marijuana dealers."

Walsh dismissed advocates' claims that legalizing and taxing marijuana could be a potential source of revenue for states, saying other vice taxes, such as those levied on alcohol and cigarettes, do not offset the greater cost of social problems to the community.

He noted that, nationwide, the federal government and states collected a combined $14.5 billion in taxes on alcohol in 2007, compared with a cost of $185 billion for alcohol-related health care, lost productivity and law enforcement, according to statements by the National Drug Control Policy Director R. Gil Kerlikowske.

For tobacco, about $25 billion is collected in taxes each year, compared with $200 billion in social costs, Walsh added, citing Kerlikowske's report.

Both officers expressed concern that English's bill, if passed, would allow Hawaii's four counties to each establish their own laws governing dispensaries. Walsh and Bixler said that a lack of consistency from county to county made it difficult to enforce the law.

For example, a dealer could purchase the drug somewhere like Mendocino County, which allows citizens to possess up to 2 pounds of dried marijuana, and then take it to other counties to sell.

English didn't think that would be a problem in Hawaii if his bill became law.

Under his proposal, the amount of medical marijuana a patient could possess would be the same across all counties, because the amount is established by state law.

But he said he believed that, in the spirit of "home rule," the county governments should be able to decide how to regulate medical marijuana dispensaries within their jurisdiction, such as where the dispensaries could be located, when they could operate, and how they could be inspected.

There are already around 6,000 medical marijuana patients in Hawaii, he noted.

Taxing medical marijuana at a rate of $30 per ounce as he proposes could net the state around $60 million in new revenues each year, he said; and English proposes splitting the take between the state and counties.

Asked to respond to the criticism that products like cigarettes and alcohol cause more costs and negative social impacts than they generate revenue in vice taxes, English said most of the studies he's seen found that "it's neutral."

English said he used information from the Drug Policy Forum of Hawaii and its studies for crafting his bill. The forum found Hawaii state and county governments could reap up to $33 million annually in new revenues and cost savings if tax and regulatory policies were to replace law enforcement to control marijuana distribution.

The report by Lawrence W. Boyd, an economist at University of Hawaii West Oahu, said there is either no relationship or a weak positive relationship between decriminalization and drug use. It said that, given the current low prosecution rates and small penalties, it's doubtful that decriminalization would have much effect on marijuana use in Hawaii.

English said he didn't see much difference between marijuana and legal drugs, such as oxycodone and codeine in Tylenol.

"There is abuse of that too. There is social cost with that too," he said.

When growing cannabis there are many things to consider. Many different things could be considered 'most important' but one stands above all otheres, strain selection.
  Indoors, greenhouse or outside it makes all the difference which seeds/clones you choose. Also other facts will help you decide what strains to grow such as weather, time of year, location of grow site. And other factors may include: odor, heat, pathogens, speed of flowering and I could go on and on.
  Just like the saying goes "you can't make a silk purse out of a pig's ear", you can only get the best qualities of herb from the best seeds/clones. Growing a pure "sativa" outside in June or July in northern climates will not allow enough time for the plant to finnish flowering before temperatures get too cold. Or... growing super dence buds in areas with high rainfall can/will lead to bud rot/ bud mold unless mold resistant strains are used.
  Strain selection is not something you want to learn on a curve. Why waste weeks or months growing anything less that the best? Your best bet is to ask around your area to see what works and what doesnt. Let other people's mistaken selections be your learning curve.  Many good growers will kick down seeds or clones but they wont give you their best stuff. Why should they? Often growers have spent years on breeding and to just give it away seems silly to them. Seed companies offer many proven strains that have the characteristic you are looking for such as 'easy to grow', 'mold resistant', "fast flowering', and even 'low odor'  strains.
  Outdoor strains that have aclimated to the area you are growing are the best way to go. After only a few generations, through selective breeding of the strongest/healthiest plants each season, strains that produce with the least amount of problems are the strains that outdoor growers prefere. This can save you lots of heartaches. 
   Even experts like PPG are constantly looking for genetics that are more perfect. I am always looking for strains that wont mold or rot in very humid conditions in a greenhouse. Some indoor strains handle the high heat sometimes associate with indoor grows. It all depends.
  I suggest that if possible: see for yourself what the plants look like in real growing conditions, ask lots of questions of the grower, smoke the weed, if you dont think it is special in some way... pass. If just starting... go with a proven strain then introduce other strains as you get more familiar and successful as a grower. Ask some growers on TWR for their recomendations... there is lots of valuable knowledge here and on other web sites. When it comes to $$ for seeds... you usually get what you pay for so dont skimp initially, this will limit your potential... ultimately.
  I hope this was helpfull to all newbies out there. I cannot say enough how this desision will be THE MOST IMPORTANT choice you make! Think twice, choose once. Do your homework. Research today will bring victory tomorrow. Good Luck!  PPG

It was still dark, just before the break of dawn on the morning of March 8th when over 40 federal agents executed search warrants on at least three suspected locations simultaneously on the Big island of Hawaii.
  This special federal taskforce was put together as a plan to  get better cooperation, communication and information exchange between  federal agencies. This was in response to shortcomings exposed about inter-agency effectiveness and efficiency with regard to stopping further terrorist attacks. A half million dollar fund was created to coordinate different federal agencies to work together. This task force is comprised of but not limited to the FBI, DEA, Coast guard, US Customs, ATF, ICE/immigration along with local vice and patrol officers. This fresh mix of over 115 federal agents left Honolulu for the Big Island on the 7th and began executing search warrants for Marijuana operations in Hilo/Puna. Of those targeted was our very own Professor Potgrower. The raid at dawn by over 11 federal agents took PPG by great surprise. Being a complying MMJ card holder and caregiver, the nature of this intrusion was unclear at first. But it was easy to see the feds were serious and loaded for bear. After over 3 hours of exhaustive searching of the 1 acre ranch the task force concluded that PPG WAS in state compliance and left without making any arrests much to the surprise and relief of PPG. The agents commented on how the Professor's plants were some of the nicest plants they have ever seen!
Simultaneously, 20 miles away near Downtown Hilo, another 15 agents descended  upon  our infamous freedom fighter and founder of the THC ministries, Roger Christie at his private residence.  Soon after, the federal task force was seen going down the street to enter the THC ministries church where another search warrant was executed.
 and yet at another residence in the district of Puna... a third residence was raided at exactly 6:15 am, like Roger and the Professor...three at the same time...over 45 agents and local police just to net ZERO arrests and practically little contraband. It is not clear what the situation for the THC  ministries is at this time but rumor has it that the feds took cell phones from all 3 searches and Roger Christie has said he is scared and is currently avoiding talking on the phone at all. All efforts to reach Mr. Christie have failed. The raid on the residence last mentioned netted only 25 small seedlings and 2 ounces of dried herb. The individual did not hold a legal MMJ card but was not arrested at that time.
This left nearly 70 other task force agents on the island to continue this joint mission to help agencies better fight terrorism more effectively and efficiently. It is not known where or what role these other agents play.
The mission of the taskforce on the Big Island was implimented  to address Big Island coke and meth organizations. Or so say the feds.  
  The entire  operation begs serious questions of  how the DEA along with US Customs, the Coast Guard and immigration can effectively operated together to fight terrorism by raiding PPG.... a disabled MMJ patient who is just struggling to raise his daughter and nothing more. Probable cause?? none. Is the Professor somehow connected to terrorism? Or perhaps he is part of a larger drug distribution network supplying meth to kids? or  maybe they just had to see his plants for themselves! The questions are endless. The Professor is just glad that the feds understood what "dry, usable" marijuana is... unlike the local police.  
  How does this federal task force help? How does it help fight terrorists abroad? What happened to Roger Christie and the THC ministries? No more "sacrament" to be offered during religious "consultations" that accompany the traditional "donation" to the "church"? Is this political, economic, personal, or fool hearty? Time will tell the whole story but this WEED reporter promises to get the scoop and nothing but the scoop! 
As it’s plain to see......  there is MUCH more to this than meets the eyes or ears. Yes, there is a back story or two and the Professor has been trying to inform many folks that Hawaii and the Big Island are real 'hot spots' in the world of MMJ and big things are happening here that will prove to be of great importance to the entire cannabis movement here and on the mainland (where you live).
The US government is experimenting here to learn how to implement such tactics on a larger scale across the country. But why start with the pot-heads? How can they learn much from screwing with the
Professor and a drummer in a local band? In fact... they have  brought much more attention and scrutiny on their efforts to do what ever they are supposed to be doing…......Hell, who knows  what their doing really? I doubt they even know  themselves unless wasting money, time, effort and resources in order to get overtime, and terrorize helpless, law abiding citizens like PPG is the point. It's like shooting fish in a barrel. Too  easy.  And why? Focusing such resources to see if MMJ patients are in compliance is just stupid. How does counting pot plants help fine tune the ability to root out or impede terrorists and terrorist networks around the world?
The Professor survived with just a big scare, another awesome  pot story from the front line, and the opportunity to keep moving forward and fully feel the winds of change on his face. When the Hawaii state senate passes legislation the house has just overwhelmingly recently passed, it will only take the stroke of the pen for governor Lingle to put into law these 3 new bills reforming MMJ law and cannabis ordinances and all legal language forever. These reforms have been described in detail by PPG in previous reports. Soon… with the herb Gods on our side, we will open the first dispensary in Hawaii, we will have MMJ limits increased and simple possession of cannabis reduced to a small fine.

Thing are moving at breakneck speed here and it will be challenging to keep on top of it. For example….. since I have been writing this very blog I have learned that Roger Christie is on the front page of the local paper yet there is no mention of exactly what the feds did with him besides closing the church. Also missing from the official story was the fact of there being the 115 federal agents on the island or that they are part of this special task force to help agencies to work together better in order to fight terrorism in the future. No mention of the other two simultaneous raids on Reverend Dave and the Professor resulting in the seizure of only 25 seedlings, 2 ounces of bud, a broken cell phone of a 10 year old and a button that read “Ganjanomics” . It seems only the Professor has the whole exclusive story.

 

   Of course there will be more to report as the coconut wireless  system fills in more juicy details of the latest attempt to police cannabis in a world that no longer accepts the same old BS that we’ve been force fed for so long. The fertilizer is hitting the ventilator and this shit stinks!   PPG
