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.
