Sanctuary Kit as
Cannabis insurance"
-Roger Christie
The State of Hawaii receives
$265,000.00 in anti pot grant money from the U.S. Drug Enforcement
Administration each year. This money is primarily used to fuel Hawaii
helicopters and finance police units during "Green Harvest". The council
needed to secure an undisclosed amount of money for insurance from
impeachment, due to the fact that these council members voted to accept
the money during a fraud case against Hawaii Police Chief Wayne Carvalho
in Civil Court. Opponents of the marijuana eradication program, which
began sixteen years ago, have in the past filed impeachment petitions
against Mayor Stephen Yamashiro and council members over the program.
Roger Christie spoke at the marijuana eradication meeting and was quoted
as saying he was thrilled that the money has been returned. Christie also
predicted that an increase in the supply of marijuana would decrease the
use of hard drugs. Roger Christie said "where there is more pot there are
less hard drugs."
