Not exactly. Just typical over-bureaucratization.

A $20,000 application fee and a $30,0000 yearly renewal fee vs. the currently practiced entrepreneurial system?

Washingtons application fee is $250 dollars and annual renewal of $1000 dollars. Of course one can walk into any little happy pot shop now and buy it on your way home from Safeway. Washington and Colorado are making good money on it and its not nearly as regulated.
Is it any wonder Hawaii would stick it to these people soo much? It's not that surprising. Someone will be lining their pockets!

Please don't be confused; in Hawaii, "medical marijuana" is about neither.

Sanjay Gupta story on medical use. Medicinally the uses for the chemicals are endless, cancers,pain,MS,epilepsy, on and on.
Too bad the gov holds a patent on it but classifies it as a schedule 1 with no medicinal uses.

Please keep this topic Hawaii related.
Assume the best and ask questions.

It is about Hawaii setting foot into a market that has already taken hold elsewhere and how the fees related or don't to one another.
Above links are just an example of information that may or probably does have an impact on local families that may benefit from future availability to treat certain conditions im sure people even here may suffer from.
No more so off topic then treads and threads about Iceland volcanoes,or how our gas hasn't decreased in price as much as california I believe that was under discussion somewhere here. . Just comparing prices.

What I find interesting is the fact that the State claims their marijuana laws exist for medical purposes yet the derivatives of the marijuana plant necessary to create legitimate medications - on a a practical level - are currently out of reach to the card holders. So in essence what the state has done is to create a system that does not legally allow for the practical application of medicinal purposes but rather promotes the getting high aspect while polluting the card holders lungs with unnecessary pollutants.
Since the State never bothered to allow for a legislative route that allowed for practical medication development, production and distribution, it has in fact thwarted the legitimate medicinal aspects of the plant. Currently anyone engaged in creating such products who sells them or shares them is breaking the Hawaii statutes. Those who do break the statues in that regard are practicing a legitimate enterprise in my opinion as the state laws are ass backwards IMO. Now the State wants to extort money out of those people via over priced permits and applications to become legal.
