As Archaic as the current laws are, and with the inception of Medical Marijuana by the legislature of Hawaii, we will continue to move forward in progessing and changing the existing laws governing the amounts allowable, and having safe access for those MMJ patients who cannot or does not have the ability to grown their own medicine.
