HONOLULU (KHNL) -- It's a tempest over pot as lawmakers debate changes in Hawaii's Medical Marijuana law.
Patients want to preserve their rights to use what they see, as a vital medication.
The meeting over medical marijuana begins on a light note.
But Representatives and supporters of this drug that is legal for some, quickly got down to the serious business of problems which affect some patients legally allowed to light up in the islands.
"Its very distressing cause these are sick people."
Some claim individual's rights are going up in smoke, because the law is not enforced equally around the state.
"Out on maui, people are being robbed by police under the cover of the law."
The Maui Police Chief was not available to comment on departmental policy. But in earlier testimony, Chief Thomas Phillips stated Maui Police do "not believe in supporting the Medical Marijuana Program in its entirety."
"It's a freaking state law they have to respect state law."
