And now, today, in the Trib the headline reads...
An illegal combo: Firearm permits being denied to medical marijuana patients
The Hawaii Police Department has a letter it sends to medical marijuana patients seeking a gun permit that’s similar to a letter sent by the Honolulu Police Department which has cannabis advocates up in arms, so to speak.

And yes, entertaining. To me the whole thing brings up visions of reefer smoking gun toting cows giving lip service to police in patrol cars trying to round them up.. a Gary Larson kind of thing.
But on a more serious note, I agree with alaskyn66 @ 19:13:02.
The main point, to me, is that all this humbug about pot is just silly when we have a seemingly endless amount of misery visited upon us by those who favor alcohol, and laws that virtually condone it. In other words the only way to take all this seriously would be to have policies that are equally applied to all users of mind altering chemicals. Pot, alcohol, prescription meds. Then yes, we might be making some headway in reducing gun violence. Which, I think we can all agree, is the real problem. But picking on pot smokers.. that's just silly. You know, take a hit*, get the munchies, eat some popcorn, silly!
*which I don't do, oddly enough for health reason, but I sure am 420 friendly.
