MEDICAL MARIJUANA FOES ARE OUT OF HAND 

The biggest obstacle to a state-regulated medical marijuana distribution
system in Hawai'i is the reefer madness of our federal government. 

By raiding voter-approved medical marijuana providers in California, the
very same Drug Enforcement Administration that claims illicit drug use funds
terrorism is forcing cancer and AIDS patients into the hands of street
dealers. Apparently marijuana prohibition is more important than protecting
the country from terrorism.
