A couple from Kona, HI with permits to grow and use medical marijuana has recently received a $30,000 settlement from the county for wrongful arrest. John and Rhonda Robison and houseguest Kealoha Wells were arrested at their home in July, 2002 after showing the police the greenhouse for growing marijuana.

John and Rhonda had all the proper permits and were growing fewer plants than the medical marijuana law allows, police said the plants were not properly labeled and arrested the three. The three were held for eight hours then released. John Robison and Ms. Wells used marijuana for their treatment of leukemia, while Rhonda Robison uses it for a form of muscular dystrophy.
