Lets hear some weird, fun and wacky stories!
Here’s one of my Faves:
Getting my legal medical Card in Hawaii circa 2014
This was around the start of medical legalization
I wanted to get a med card so I could legally grow. There were no legal dispensaries yet at this time.
I get info about seeing a Doctor to get a Med card with an address and a Time
We drive out to a very remote location on Oahu East side - Id never been to this area.
We make it to the backwoods and see signs that were pretty odd. A lot of sovereign land signs, no trespassing, surveillance signs etc…
We realize as we pull up to this shed with dogs and Chickens running around that we are on Hawaiian Sovereign land. Ok cool
I walk into a Room with about 20 people there for the same reason. Everyone felt awkward . Nobody spoke or said anything. I think other people were also a little bewildered at what this place was.
We had to fill out a huge pamphlet and one by one we were called into another room.
After 2 hrs of waiting I get called in waiting to see the Doctor.
I walk in the room and its just a screen. Nowadays zoom appointments are common but back in those days they were not.
I felt like I was meeting with The wizard of Oz
I waited 10 mins looking at the screen as I was instructed it might be a minute
The guy finally came on and asked the standard questions
He wanted to know specifically how I would get my cannabis
I told him I would grow it. He then gave me some basic growing instructions
I left with my First Med card . Haha
wild . My first and only time on Sovereign land.
My guess is The Doctor figured there was no way he could get arrested.
