UNDERCOVER BUY BUSTS 'MEDICAL' POT CLUB

About 10 grams of marijuana delivered to a state Narcotics Enforcement
Division undercover agent for $300 spelled the death knell for the Honolulu
Medical Marijuana Buyers Club.

State investigators arrested a 35yearold man yesterday following a
threeweek investigation, which involved responding to a classified
newspaper ad for a nonprofit Medical Marijuana Buyers Club.

An undercover investigator also met with the suspect to discuss a purchase
Nov. 15. The investigator purchased five grams for $100, and the suspect
required the undercover investigator to disclose what his medical condition
was. The suspect advised the investigator his distribution of marijuana was
illegal and also said he has numerous clients belonging to his marijuana
buyers club.

The suspect was booked at the District Court cellblock yesterday, with bail
set at a total of $2,000 for two counts of promoting a dangerous drug.
