The Attorney General himself just detailed what their "compelling interests" are concerning marijuana - and we are NOT one of them! Our lawyers DID use that very argument, among others, in our final brief which should be available online at The-Last-Marijuana-Trial any time now.

Aloha to thee. Good news is that the status conference went pretty well. I'll explain this to you in more detail tomorrow but here is a quick summary. The Judge has said that she will be deciding the RFRA issue after an evidentiary hearing. But no matter how she rules she will allow us...

Lover-Lover,
Aloha to thee. The good news from yesterday's legal visit with Tommy is that Monday's hearing at 10:30 will be a little different from what we had expected. Instead of the full hearing with witnesses and evidence about whether or not we qualify for our religious defense at...
