Hawaii Medical Marijuana 1 of 4

Highlights from the Hawaii State Legislature House Committee on Health addressing Medical Marijuana on August 25, 2008.

Hawaii State Representative John Mizuno, Vice Chair of the Health Committee, and Hawaii State Representative Joe Bertram III from Maui moderate this meeting discussing the recent veto of HB2675 and exploring distribution alternatives for medicinal marijuana patients.

From ancient times cannabis has been a medicine. Medical history makes this very clear. I dont feel the need to add the word medical to it. We dont call other medicine medical whatever. It sounds ridicules to say medical aspirin. I feel we should all simply call cannabis what it is cannabis or cannabis sativa. I feel no obligation to say medical marijuana to help ignorant people know what I am talking about when referencing my medicine.

If they dont know what I am talking about when I say cannabis they can ask me or look it up in the dictionary. If they ask me I will tell them it is an amazing plant that has helped people with many different medical problems for thousands of years.

Let's just call it by its scientific name, CANNABIS.

I disagree.

What needs to change is the employees we the people HIRE to administrate our wishes thinking they have some mandate to micromanage our personal lives.

We can call it Ganja, and it's still none of their business

to support organized crime, to persecute nonviolent citizens, and to determine what we the people may and may not use for our health.

State hearings, forsooth.

Personal liberty!

BTW, I am a substance abuse counsellor and hold a licence to produce marihuana in Canada.
