MEDICAL MARIJUANA CRACKDOWN SHAMEFUL

It is shameful that U.S. Attorney Ed Kubo is threatening Hawai'i doctors to 
prevent them from recommending medical marijuana when they believe it could 
help seriously ill patients.

Hawai'i has a good medical marijuana law that allows people to use 
marijuana in private, and only if they are really sick and their doctors 
think it can help.

If Mr. Kubo is unable to look around the state and see thousands of 
crime-fighting needs that are more urgent, then someone else should be 
running the show.
