Answer: In answer to your first question, NORML -- National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws -- would be a good place for you to start.  The contact for NORML Oahu is the Rev. William Webb, phone 625-9692 or e-mail webba003@hawaii.rr.com.  Webb said the Oahu chapter just formed this year, and "we're still (taking) baby steps," processing paperwork, etc. Anyone interested in joining should contact him; he said he'll let people know once a date for the next meeting is set.   Basically, NORML tries to "educate the public on the benefits of cannabis -- medicinal, spiritual, even just plain recreational use," Webb said.  He also pointed to marijuana as a "hardy plant for hemp to be used for many, many things." He said the national organization's Web site -- www.norml.org/index.cfm -- is a good source of information. Regarding the name of a physician authorized to prescribe marijuana, Webb said there is no such list. It's not something that physicians publicize, he said, and he only knows of one physician because a member of NORML is a patient. The state Department of Public Safety, which oversees the medicinal marijuana registry of physicians and patients in Hawaii, does not provide such a listing. Hawaii legalized the use of medicinal marijuana in 2000.   A physician must certify that a patient is qualified for such use because of a debilitating medical condition specified in the law.   But before a physician is allowed to certify a patient, he or she must also meet certain qualifications:  be licensed to practice in Hawaii, have a controlled substance registration and be authorized by the state to participate in the program. If such a physician certifies a patient, the patient must also register with the state, then is allowed to possess three mature plants and four immature plants at any time, plus one ounce of processed marijuana per mature plant. At last check earlier this month, there were 164 practicing physicians who are allowed to prescribe marijuana use:  53 on Oahu; 42, Big Island; 32, Maui; 23, Kauai; four, Niihau; and three, Lanai.  Kokua Line, StarBulletin.com * Vol. 10, Issue 325 - Monday, Nov. 21, 2005 Med.

Medical cannabis outlook clarified (Honolulu Advertiser) ... Hawaii Medical Marijuana Program: Alive. ACLU of Hawaii Demands Immediate Retraction from U.S. Attorney in Hawaii, Doctors Still Have Constitutional Right to Recommend Medical Marijuana. June 8, 2005 - HONOLULU - The American Civil Liberties Union of Hawaii (ACLU) demanded in a letter today that U.S. Attorney Ed Kubo immediately retract comments threatening to arrest doctors who recommend medical marijuana to their patients. “The U.S. Attorney got it wrong,” said Lois Perrin, Legal Director of the ACLU of Hawaii. “Doctors have a clear right to continue to recommend medical marijuana, and that right is protected by the United States Constitution. If we have to, we will go to federal court next week to reaffirm doctors’ rights.” Click here for more.   CONTACTs   Hawaii state Medical Marijuana Rules   *   ( * HAWAII POLICE DEPARTMENT, RULES AND REGULATIONS GOVERNING INVESTIGATIONS INVOLVING THE MEDICAL AND RELIGIOUS USE OF MARIJUANA. * I.

Hawaii SUMMARY: Governor Ben Cayetano signed Senate Bill 862 into law on June 14, 2000. The law took effect on December 28, 2000. The law removes state-level criminal penalties on the use, possession and cultivation of marijuana by patients who possess a signed statement from their physician affirming that he or she suffers from a debilitating condition and that the "potential benefits of medical use of marijuana would likely outweigh the health risks." Patients diagnosed with the following illnesses are afforded legal protection under this act: cachexia; cancer; chronic pain; Crohn’s disease; epilepsy and other disorders characterized by seizures; glaucoma; HIV or AIDS; multiple sclerosis and other disorders characterized by muscle spasticity; and nausea. Other conditions are subject to approval by the Hawaii Department of Health. Patients (or their primary caregivers) may legally possess no more than one ounce of usable marijuana, and may cultivate no more than seven marijuana plants, of which no more than three may be mature. The law establishes a mandatory, confidential state-run patient registry that issues identification cards to qualifying patients. To date, about 200 cards have been issued.

A California federal judge has ruled that the federal government cannot prosecute doctors who recommend or prescribe marijuana for medically valid treatment of patients. On Friday, Sept. 8, 2000, U.S. District Court Judge William Alsup in San Francisco issued a permanent injunction banning the federal government from taking any action, including investigation, leading to the revocation of a physician's license "merely because the doctor recommends medical marijuana to a patient based on a sincere medical judgment."

Positive effects are claimed for ailments such as cancer, AIDS, and glaucoma. AIDS can cause a loss of appetite known as "wasting syndrome", which can lead to drastic weight loss and weakness. Chemotherapy used in the treatment of cancer causes nausea resulting in an inability to keep down food. Marijuana's healing nature for these two illnesses is a result of its ability to increase a person's appetite as well as relieving nausea, allowing a patient to regain weight. Marijuana reportedly helps glaucoma patients by reducing intraocular pressure that can cause damage to the eye.
