Used to grow back in the late 70's (yeah old guys rule :hippy:" using a small greenhouse. Local authorities stopped by one time while I was at my day job and took everything and left their biz card, I didn't call....

Hope to retire soon to your beautiful BI, keep up the good fight and keep on postin


Aloha Brodoggie,


That, my friend, is a common story around here. Many moons ago my sister and BIL lived down in Kihei. He asked me to provide the starts and grow the plants in their back yard. The yard was tiny but it could not be seen from the road. Neighbors all around, but BIL was an animal, so nobody sane would take the plants.

Pulled a nice harvest the first year. I took half as agreed. They were some of the tastiest beasts I have ever grown. Kihei gets @330 days of sun and less than 8 inches of rain a year. One of the best places to grow on this island. Re planted, got the next batch going,then was told I was no longer needed. About three weeks before harvest the choppers flew.

Took everything from them. Left a MPD vice squad card stuck in the door. Card said "We took your plants. Any questions? Feel free to call us at and Vice's # was there. Needless to say they never called. BIL was pissed off. Got even madder when I told him that I knew when they were going to fly and "forgot" to tell him.

Months pass, BIL starts new crop. Green harvest took off and his house was first on the list to take a look at. Once they find weed they will come back each season and see if new ones are planted. He got another Vice MPD card. He gave up after that.

Good Luck on the Big Island. It is a growers paradise there. You will have a blast. MMJ licences are easy to get and keep. If you have 24(?) plants on private property they leave you alone. Just don't do anything stupid (like plant on Federal Land) and you will be fine.
