<br /> Aloha and blessings to you who read. <br /> Request to Cease and Desist the <br /> hate crime known as the marijuana <br /> eradication program in Hawaii. <br /> Cease and desist (also called C & D) is a legal term essentially <br /> meaning "halt" or "end". It is used in demands for a person or <br /> organization to permanently stop doing something (to cease <br /> and desistfrom doing it). <br /> The term is used in two different contexts: Acease-and-desist order can be issued by <br /> a judge or government authority, and has well-defined legal meaning. Acease-and-desist <br /> letter can be sent by anyone, although typically they aze drafted by a lawyer. <br /> In 1937 a religious practice was made into a criminal act by the Ways and Means <br /> Committee of the Congress as can cleazly be seen in the testimony and statement of H.J. <br /> Anslinger: <br /> STATEMENT OF H. L ANSLINGER, <br /> COMMISSIONER OF NARCOTICS, BUREAU OF NARCOTICS, DEPARTMENT OF <br /> THE TREASURY <br /> "MR. ANSLINGER: Mr. Chairman, my name is H. J. Anslinger; I am Commissioner of <br /> Nazcotics in the Bureau of Narcotics, in the Treasury Department. <br /> Mr. Chairman and distinguished members of the Ways and Means Committee, this traffic <br /> in marihuana is increasing to such an extent that it has come to the be cause for the <br /> greatest national concern. <br /> This drug is as old as civilization itself. Homer wrote about, as a drug that made me <br /> forget their homes, and that turned them into swine. In Persia, a thousand yeazs before <br /> Christ, there was a religious and military order founded which was called the Assassins <br /> and they derived their name from the drug called hashish which is now known in this <br /> country as marihuana. They were noted for their acts of cruelty, and the word "assassin" <br /> very aptly describes the drug". <br /> end <br /> quote <br /> Comm. No.~t, <br /> Ref. To: ere"'mo`t <br /> Ref.
