It is a travesty of justice that Brian Murphy, a disabled veteran with serious medical issues stemming from his service, has been sentenced to a year in jail for the same activities for which the 2009 State House of Representatives congratulated PWT. To this day, there is still no procedure in Hawai'i for registered patients to legally acquire their medical marijuana. Victory!
This petition made change with (over) 11,010 supporters! Petition delivered to Hawaii's governor, and Maui Circuit Court.
