JOHN & RHONDA ROBISON <br /> tJY Jli~ 5 '?f'? ~ <br /> June 1, 2007 <br /> <br /> Dear County Council: <br /> <br /> RE: MARIJUANA ERADICATION FUNDING <br /> Aloha Councilmemberi! Thank you for the chance ro share some thoughts sari ideas with you. I represent <br /> 1 of over 1,000 medical marijuana patients here on the BigIstaad. I am not in fawn of recdvi:tg the maririjuaoa <br /> <br /> eradication funds .I feet after 25 years of watching tbe police fly helicoptere(~600.00/hour), over residential <br /> <br /> aeiborltoods flat it is and has been a wasce of valuable time ,man houza ,and above all money that I think <br /> <br /> could be better spent I would hire ro ask that a "constntctive working group" could be established ro help the <br /> <br /> corral better their knowledge so when derision making comes and it affects us ,the couaal wiIl be better <br /> equipped to deride things on our behalf Had resolurion 46-01 been fvlfi0ed I probably wouldn't have to ask <br /> this of you .If for some reason the foods are received I [eel that there should be "DOABLE" sdptdations <br /> should be placed on the recdving of the funds:i)tesidential areas should be a "NO-FLY-ZONE" . I brei that <br /> the commercial gmwere ateut glowing in residential neiborhoods, maybe mdoors, but they don't need a <br /> helicopter ro find these ones ~ Estabish a aaorlong group ro help the councd whh tbe medical side of things <br /> Ia conversation with some of you that atlkd me bark after I a~ ,some of you realy doer know dtis law but <br /> will try ro guess when is discussion about it This !aw pertains to me directly sad I do know this Isar. The reason <br /> why is that I was arrested for a law that didnR even ®st, by an over zealous police offtcet who refused ro hear <br /> tbe truth. This county payed me I;30.000.00 for Iris unavilfingness to obey this rasa I have personally said that I <br /> will help curb and every patient that is bullkd by load law eafotument Since that time some of the same <br /> oftiars raided Rev: Denaia Shellds home and tried the same garbage on him, only be is my close friend and <br /> kneav better . As wuaty offidals you seed ro be made aware of county employees that aren't doing tbe job <br /> properly and would be considered a liabl7ity. 3) Lowwer the priority on marjuana in general-low priority does <br /> sot mesa no priority. Slow down and bok at this on a arse ro aiae basis. With 1,040 of ua medical madjttaaa <br /> patients bete representing '/a this states total them NEEDS ro be a hightetted awareness and sensitivity. <br /> Resolution 46-01 was good years agq now it awkt be made better for aR i~olved Our mistake with 46-01 was <br /> we invited outsiders who don't live here on the BtbIsland tram our business, let's keep it here at home and work <br /> together ro make it bettec4) Regoire the police officers in this wuaty ro attend classes ro handle patieata- <br /> becavse after 3titnes I can tell you that they don't know what they are daittg wltm it crates ro this situation <br /> .Guessing is sot good enough for rtte sad hope you will join me to help make it better for the neat patient that <br /> bas as encounter with HCPD. When 46-01 was created we were also supposed ro get workshops wilt the Chief <br /> sad Head of Pa~it never happened -thanks to Aama Chung, We are making an effort to extend otu hand <br /> and help I am aarenity in the 5~ of 6 yeas of high-dose chemotherapy and use this as medirine because of <br /> the non-addictive pzopertim and also I taken tar too many pills sari would ether save my liver and kidneys. We <br /> will alawys in airy circle have rite 10°/s that try ro get over an tbe system-but the rest of us are really straggtmg <br /> and don't seed rite added wolves of the police dealings Although I do think that there should be a way made <br /> so that patients could help patients whey someone is is need. It's not as easy ro grow as one might think. When <br /> is between we need ro squire it somewhere other than oa the street paying over ;500.00 for an ounce of <br /> medirino-i/2 that ix 5iit the other'/s is goujingr A lot of us ate on social security and can't afford to pay street <br /> market value. The aurent need of the patients here is 195 Ibs X 6,000.00 per pound=j1,170,000.00 as you am <br /> see if Yr the time we need ro squire it, it would and is a considerable tmmber. We aced molt than ro hear that <br /> you are sypathic ro medical folks instead actions speak louder than wotds.Thank you for you rim e, Aloha John n <br /> Robison II ~ '3 S <br /> Comm.
