Surrender Your Guns, Police Tell Hawaiian Medical Marijuana Patients

Surrender Your Guns, Police Tell Hawaiian Medical Marijuana Patients
The Honolulu Police Department has sent letters to local medical marijuana patients ordering them to “voluntarily surrender” their firearms because of their MMJ status.


This may be the first time a law enforcement agency has sought out state-registered medical marijuana patients and ordered them to surrender their guns.
The letters, signed by Honolulu Police Chief Susan Ballard, inform patients that they have 30 days upon receipt of the letter to transfer ownership or turn in their firearms and ammunition to the Honolulu Police.

The existence of the notices, first reported early today by Russ Belville at The Marijuana Agenda podcast, was confirmed to Leafly News this afternoon by the Honolulu Police Department.

The startling order comes just three months after the state’s first medical marijuana dispensary opened in Hawaii’s capital city.

Here is the full text of one of the letters:

It will be interesting to see how this plays out. I expected a fight over guns and marijuana would soon ensue. All of the federal laws are still on the books regarding guns and drug use, all that had to happen was for one of these pro-marijuana municipalities to take action. The places that have so far moved to decriminalize marijuana aren't exactly doing it for "Freedom" reasons; they are all leftist strongholds.

Lets see how long it takes the big "gun control " states to follow suit. Whats next, prescription opiods, alcohol and tobacco users????

Schedule 1 drugs, it is specific in the law. But they may go after opoid prescription holders...

So they would have to remove marijuana from the list of schedule 1 drugs. I don't use it but I really don't see why it should be treated any different than alcohol or tobacco.

Isn’t NY already doing this?

Didn’t take Hawaii long to use their gun owner database!

Registration leads to? Anyone?

Yes. E-prescriptions means NYS knows all about your prescription drug history. But don’t worry HIPAA will protect your privacy.

Yeah right

Don't worry the NRA is right on it

Yes! And you have a few more days to register your handguns with the State Police. Not that they are registered already or nothing...

No surprise here. Notice they added it to the 4473. I knew it was coming. They will deny a purchase if you say yes to using it so why not confiscate if you use it. I don't agree with it if it's medically prescribed, but not surprised here. The only thing that bothers me is the liberals that are pushing for using weed are the ones taking your guns for using weed. Now let's see is that planned. I'll bet it is. Also they are forcing these people to choose between gun rights and health care that they say is a right. One right can't cancel out another right.

 

[E the massive]

So no prescription and its all good?

 

[Modean]

More or less. The less the government knows about you the better.

This does not surprise me in the least. Democrats and Liberals hate the 2A. They are the ones who were pushing to turn as many Americans into Potheads as they could. Now, pass another BS rule that says if you are a Pothead, you can't own guns. Makes perfect sense to me.

Just one marijuana injection can kill you.

30 days is plenty of time to "find" somewhere to place your guns until it all gets sorted out in court! What are they going to do? Arrest you for non-compliance with a unconstitutional police directive?

Yeah... Bring it! If they were smart, they just show up and with a "WARRANT" properly executed, size your property. Otherwise it's all bullshit and they can go fuck themselves!

Not unexpected, was it ? And what about pain pills that people take regularly and not a one time use ? Take people's picture and confiscate their guns when they buy a six pack or quart. As long as the libs/left have paid for security, they don't care or understand

 

[Acer-m14]

at least they didn't send out notices to the Patients of the Methadone clinics .. LOL ..
