CANNABIS CULTURE – Hawaii’s THC Ministry and the homes of several medical cannabis growers were raided Wednesday by federal agents from the United States DEA and IRS.
Roger Christie, founder of the THC Ministry, said he was visited Wednesday morning by federal agents and local police who presented search warrants for his Wainaku home and popular Hawaii Cannabis Ministry in Hilo.
“It was a surprise raid,” Christie told Cannabis Culture. “Apparently they were looking for evidence of a crime or fraud.”
Agents searched Christie’s properties for seven hours, confiscating holy anointing oil containing cannabis and seizing files, but made no arrests and laid no charges.
