Tcstlmony against Rcsolutlon ~6-Ol <br /> Ma>rh 9, 2001 <br /> 1 am against the cannabls erodicatlon "AssauR on Citizens" for throe reasons: <br /> 1.) The program only worked to plunge the Big Island into devastating poverty and <br /> increased alcohol and harcier drug use. <br /> 2.) There has been overwhelming public opinion for years to end thfa'outdated', <br /> 'war on pot' especially In targeted rurel areas. <br /> 3.) Because of the tremendous need for this healing herb (cannabis) for medicinal <br /> and religious purposes. <br /> In this new millenium, In my opinion, people's spiritual convictions are becoming stronger <br /> and dearor. With the legal use of medicinal herb and '!n the dpht set wnd aetl/ny'our <br /> divine right to use cannabis as a sacrament because of R's enlighbning and healing <br /> properties is coming out of the closet. <br /> Law eMbreement /a po/np to have to respect these 1lreedoms. <br /> Are they yo/np to know the d!!lbrencei' <br /> Small cannabls gardens are out in the open, popping up In the privacy of people's homes <br /> and back yards. <br /> An officer of the law has no COMPELLING governmental Interest In prohlbiGng our <br /> religious practice. <br /> An arrest)ng officer will be making himaslf vuneroble to a IawsuR if he does not abid by <br /> my religious rights. <br /> <br /> Our ministry is working to orrJain as many people on this Island as possible at www.ulc.org <br /> and then getting them the THC Ministry 'Cannabis Sanctuary Kit' at www.thc-ministry.org <br /> Reverend Maxie O'Nalll <br /> Pahoa, Hawaii <br /> <br />
