(Editor’s note: A version of this story appeared in the July 14, 2010 edition of the Big Island Weekly.)
A Sept. 8 trial date has been set for 14 people that federal authorities say disguised a major drug-trafficking group behind a marijuana-focused ministry.
The U.S. District Attorney’s Office in Honolulu says Roger Christie, 61, with the help of his girlfriend Sherryanne St. Cyr, 58, engaged in marijuana trafficking while conducting The Hawaii Cannabis (THC) Ministry out of Hilo.
Richard Bruce Turpen, 59, Wesley Mark Sudbury, 32, Donald James Gibson, 40, Roland Gregory Ignacio, 49, Perry Emilio Policicchio, 50, John Debaptist Bouey III, 50, Michael “Dewey” Shapiro, 61, and Aaron George Zeeman, 42, are alleged to have served as marijuana suppliers and growers for THC Ministry throughout 2009. Susanne Lenore Friend, 46, and Timothy Mann, 58, were “recruited to start a marijuana cultivation operation for the ministry,” according to U.S. District attorneys in Honolulu.
The 14 individuals listed in the indictment were arrested on July 8. Six of them were released on a $25,000 unsecured signature bond, including Friend, Mann, Ignacio, Policicchio, Fiore, and Walsh. The remaining eight were incarcerated in a federal detention facility in Honolulu at press time, including Christie, St. Cyr, Turpen, Sudbury, Gibson, Bouey, Shapiro, and Zeeman.
At Christie’s leading, THC Ministry has for over a decade publicly advocated the use of “cannabis sacrament,” with the slogan, “We use cannabis religiously and you can, too.”
However, U.S. District Attorney Florence Nakakuni, at a press conference detailing the 14 individuals’ indictment and arrest, noted “there is no law that protects (Christie’s) allegations of using marijuana religiously.”
The federal investigation involved multiple federal agencies, including the Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA), the National Park Service, the Bureau of Immigration and Customs Enforcement, the Postal Inspection Service, and Hawaii High Intensity Drug Trafficking Area (HIDTA). Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the United States Marshals Service, the Coast Guard, the State of Hawaii Narcotics Enforcement Division, the State Department of Public Safety, the Hawaii National Guard Counterdrug Unit and the Hawaii Police Department also assisted.
“Whether grown in a field or a house, marijuana today is extremely potent and dangerous,” maintained Timothy Landrum, special agent in charge of the DEA in Honolulu. “The residents of Hawaii deserve to live without exposure to drug dealers operating in their communities. We will continue to work closely with our federal, state and local partners to enhance the quality of life in Hawaii.”
Prior to the 14 individuals’ arrest on July 8, DEA raids were conducted on March 10. Authorities say that, in the March raids, 845 grams of marijuana were recovered from a condominium in Hilo that Christie and St. Cyr share; 1,108 marijuana plants were recovered from Turpen’s Kea’au residence and storage room; and 856 plants were recovered both inside and outside Sudbury’s Ocean View residence.
Subject to criminal forfeiture are Christie’s Hilo condo, Turpen’s Kea’au home, Ignacio’s Mountain View home, and Policicchio’s Hilo home. Approximately $21,494 said to be seized in the DEA raids is also subject to forfeiture, according to the indictment.
Michael Kawahara, the assistant U.S. District attorney who will be prosecuting the case against the 14 individuals indicted and arrested, noted that it is a possibility the September trial date will be postponed.
“There are a lot of preliminary procedures to be worked on that may necessitate a continuance,” Kawahara said.
None of those indicted and arrested could be reached by press time.
Victoria Fiore, 28, and Jessica Walsh, 32, worked for THC Ministry and allegedly “assisted in distributing marijuana,” the U.S. District Attorneys’ indictment states.

serious? potent? lol compared to what? safer than alcohol and gee will it kill ya? no.
dangerous? VERY if the government can take your property for farming.
“doing the same thing over and over and expecting ANY different results” INSANE LAW
serious waste of money, thank you
U.S. District Attorney Florence Nakakuni,
whom I was told by a little bird that she’s only been in that job just a couple months?
making a name for herself? big splash in the news?
but why now?

However, U.S. District Attorney Florence Nakakuni, at a press conference detailing the 14 individuals’ indictment and arrest, noted “there is no law that protects (Christie’s) allegations of using marijuana religiously.”
WHAT??????????????
What about the U.S. Constitution, the basis of all U.S.law? Is there not something called “Freedom of Religion” which is guaranteed to all???????? Isn’t that what the work of Roger Christie has been about all along???
If Roger was making money in a way that was unsavory, then that is something else, another subject.
However, for a District Attorney to say that there is no law that protects the religious practices of an individual is absurd, and is as anti-American as anti-American can get.

The difference between a successful American and an unsuccessful one for the over 100 million that have used cannabis comes down to have you been arrested and convicted for a marijuana crime. In other words have you been convicted of a drug crime, a felony in many cases, for all intents and purposes a marijuana conviction is treated the same as a heroin or ice conviction, its a “drug conviction”. Lets look at some people who’s lives could have turned out very different had the been caught and prosecuted when they used marijuana.
Some argue that if you smoke pot, you’ll be poor, and “washing dishes until you’re dead.”
The truth is its not if you smoke it, its if you are caught smoking it….
Not only have 42% of Americans admitted to trying pot, http://www.time.com/time/health/article/0,8599,1821697,00.html but contrary to what prohibitionist say many pot smokers have gone on to become some of the most successful people in our society. I am not talking about Willie Nelson and Snoop. These guys are on the Forbes 500, they’re leading the free world, and they prove that all existing pothead stereotypes are nothing more than myths.
Here are some of the ones I found on the internet who didn’t get caught…
Sir Richard Branson
While the ‘Sir’ in front of this guy’s name puts him in some very elite company, it doesn’t automatically get him on this list. What does earn him a spot is the fact that he’s the 236th richest person in the world, founder of the Virgin empire, which encompasses everything from airlines to record stores to cell phones, and made his entire multi-billion dollar fortune from absolutely nothing. Not only does this man smoke weed, he gets high with his 21-year-old son. He has publicly stated that there’s nothing wrong with smoking pot, has petitioned for the legalization of pot, and even said that if it were legal, he’d sell it.
Rick Steves
Your name doesn’t become synonymous with ‘European Travel’ by accident. You can’t just take a bong hit, lay back in your bean bag and toss off a few ‘graphs on how awesome the Louvre is. And yet here’s Rick Steves, author of 27 top selling European travel guides, host of his own TV show and radio show, and a very outspoken pothead. He’s a member of the National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws, and credits pot for turning him into a better travel writer by opening his mind to new things.
Michael Phelps
He “Has More Olympic Gold Medals Than Anyone In History” made headlines when photos of him and a bong surfaced. Phelps has given a few interviews decrying his “bad judgment,” promising it was a dumb mistake that never happened before and won’t happen again… However Phelps was hitting that bong like a pro, not daintily toking some little amateur joint. This wasn’t Phelps’s first time. It might be his last, but it definitely wasn’t his first. This means that you can become the most world class athlete of all time and be a pot smoker at the same time.
Barack Obama
Almost every American President before Barry, from Washington to Clinton to Bush, has had a pot addled past. Clinton purportedly tried and failed to smoke a joint, Bush was a boozer, but messed with coke and pot from time to time, Washington even grew marijuana on his farm. But as far as we know, none have admitted to smoking as much pot as Obama. He wrote extensively about his stoner past in his book Dreams of My Father, and in a 2007 interview stated “When I was a kid I inhaled frequently. That was the point.” Anyone who wonders what kind of future a pothead can have should take a hard look at Barack Obama. Not only can you grow up to be ridiculously smart, you can grow up to be President.
Michael Bloomberg
The Mayor of New York’s last name is associated with ‘business’ and ‘success’, not ‘failure’ and ‘the munchies’. But if you’re one of those idiots who believes a pothead could never amount to anything, you’d have never guessed this was the way Bloomberg would turn out. Did he smoke pot when he was younger? In his own words “You bet I did. And I enjoyed it!”
Ted Turner
Ted is a rare breed of billionaire — he comes off as completely absent minded, incapable of even putting on his own pants. Yet he is a mega-mogul. He single-handedly invented the 24-hour news cycle with CNN, was named Time’s Man of the Year in 1991, is the largest private land owner in America, and also owns a few other TV stations, and the Atlanta Braves. So… owning lots of stuff? Not what you’d expect from a guy who grew pot in his college dorm room. Ted is also a major funder of the Kentucky Hemp Museum, along with renowned stoner Woody Harelson, and is a well known fan of the classic stoner cartoon Scooby-Doo.
Montel Williams
The talk show prince discovered pot late in life, and for good reason. Back in 1999 he was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis, and couldn’t find anything to suppress his symptoms. He tried all sorts of pain killers; none worked, and all had horrible side effects. So he decided to try medical marijuana (same thing as regular marijuana, FYI) and it worked wonders for him! Years later, he is one of MS’s most recognizable faces, one of medical marijuana’s staunchest defenders, and even though he’s baked all the time, still managed to host his own talk show until 2008.
Stephen King
I haven’t included many creative types on this list, mostly because they’re all potheads. Just about every actor, musician and artist ever is a huge pothead. But writing 1,000 page novels is a slightly different process. You can’t just ‘jam out’ The Stand. Over the course of his career, both his output and his success have been unparalleled. He’s authored upwards of 50 novels and short stories which have sold a collective 500 million copies worldwide. He’s also been one of the most vocal proponents for the legalization of marijuana, calling laws against the drug “ridiculous,” and stating that “I think that marijuana should not only be legal, I think it should be a cottage industry.”
Arnold Schwarzenegger
The Governor of California is on video smoking weed. In the classic documentary Pumping Iron, he is seen smoking, and loving, a joint. But that was the 70s, right? Things have chanced since then. Haven’t they? Well, Schwarzenegger hasn’t been puffing since his election to office, but he has presided over California’s recent medical marijuana renaissance. Now anyone who wants one can get a pot prescription in the state, which gives them legal access to some of the best weed in the country, and even allows them to grow plants in their own home. According to Arnold, marijuana “is not a drug, it’s a leaf.”
This came from an article I found in Forbes magazine.
“I personally know boxers, body builders, cyclists, runners and athletes from all walks of life that train and compete with the assistance of marijuana,” said WWE wrestler Rob Van Dam.
Some of the best cricket players of all time, like Phil Tufnell and Sir Ian Botham, have admitted to regularly using marijuana to deal with the stress and muscle aches common to all athletes. In 2001, half of South Africa’s cricket team was punished after being caught toking up with the team physiotherapist.
Regular marijuana use didn’t impede the ability of basketball legends like Rasheed Wallace, Charles Oakley or Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. Indeed, Oakley has claimed that over half of NBA players smoke pot before each game. Since these players are top athletes whose career depends on them being at peak performance for every game, it stands to reason that perhaps they are using marijuana because it provides some benefit to their abilities on the court.
Cannabis can actually enhance and improve human abilities. Discovering how toking up possibly helps the world’s greatest athletes to better their performance could also teach us how this plant can better serve us all.
Imagine if all the people that were just talked about had been arrested and convicted of marijuana crimes. In all likely hood many would never have achieved the great things they did. Now imagine all the great Americans that never achieved their potential for the simple fact that they were arrested for a marijuana crime…….God only knows what achievements our country lost because of this….
Add that to the hundreds of millions of dollars it cost to destroy those Americans and the fact that there is more marijuana than ever and its stronger, not to mention any kid can get it and who in his right mind would want to continue doing this.
We have a better plan, we may have to tweak it along the way but it would be almost imposable to do worse that the currant policy has done….Join us and lets put an end to this stupidity…Saying we can’t do anything because its a state or federal issue is a cop out and you are wrong. Not only can we do it we must do it……The county does not have to cooperate with the state or the feds…..That is how this will end from the ground up…..
Can we tax and regulate marijuana now for the good of Hawaii county, and our country….Tell the mayor and council to stop cooperating, that would have saved over 400 people in our county just last year……..Please help us everyday more people are destroyed for no benefit to us………..

Like I keep saying, Roger’s church could have kept on smoking and kept on praying……..had he/they not gotten so greedy. Money became God. I have always been a supporter of Roger and his advocacy of our right to grow and smoke (not sell) the good herb. Once he chose to go big time and become reverend king pin, my respect him was greatly tarnished. Because he functioned for so long WITHOUT getting busted, there were folks in the community who were wondering if Roger himself was a front for the cops. Many people tried to warn roger that if he was selling, he needed to stop. Having beaten the law several times before, I guess Roger truly believed that he was above the law.
This post has nothing to do with being against the ideals of the church and I still believe that individuals should have the right to grow and smoke (not sell) their own supply of the sweet herb. But as for Roger’s actions, I really don’t have any sympathy for what went down. And when he went down, it appears he took a bunch of folks down with him. Roger’s lips flapped faster than a pinwheel in the Kohala wind.
Forfeiture of homes and condos? Ouch. That hurts. But sh** like that happens when you deal with money on those levels. The spirituality of the good herb went totally out the window when that big money started flowing. When you are a dealer/cannibus sacrament minister at that level, you are no different from a seemingly good, hard working individuals…..who just so happen to sell drugs to make some side money too. Not all drug dealers are bad people. They just get sprung on that money and lose all grips on reality.
Let’s leave the good herb out of this discussion and truly focus on what is at hand — a dealer who made a lot of money and got popped. On a good note, Roger is gained his notoriety for beating the law in the past. Well, now he’s facing the biggest fight of his life. If he is able to beat this one, I would not be surprised. Roger lives for that kind of attention.
July 15th, 2010 at 7:39 am
Well said Casual Observer. That is the real issue here…he was using “Religion” as his front. Not cool in my book.
July 15th, 2010 at 8:40 am
People keep saying the sweet herb is not addicting.
You are wrong all of you herb sellers are addicted.
You are addicted to the money the herb produces.
Roger is a perfect example of what I speak. All was good for Roger when the herb was one of God’s sacraments an all he did was pray to have some more of the sweet herb. He loves it so much he wanted the world to join in on it’s wonders, good for you Roger.
Then the Devil made him do it. The Devil made him profit in the name of the Lord. Roger being a mire mortal became addicted to the cash that the Devil’s weed was now providing. Oh praise the Lord and send the DEVIL back to Hell. Oh what has he done…Oh what has he done…Oh poor Roger.
The Lack
July 15th, 2010 at 10:28 am
Money is not physically addicting to most but probably one of the most physiologically addicting things there is. The police are certainly addicted to the drug war money and byrn grants. So are the prosecutors, and the mayor, to the point of disobeying a voter mandate such as the lowest law enforcement ordnance. They are willing to destroy some of the more productive people in the community and the jobs they provide to get their fix/money. Thus 400 bust for under an ounce of marijuana last year, and they don’t care that the tax payers here pick up millions in residual cost, so long as they get their fix.
The pharmaceutical companies are addicted to the money they get from all the drugs they sell that marijuana could replace and any one of us could grow themselves. I know a person with a prescription for Marinol the legal THC and it cost $20.00 a pill at Walmart, I would argue if you think patients are being abused you should target these corporation charging $20.00 for 1 pill that is legal, instead of Rodger.
The prison industrial complex is addicted to the drug war money. I read in several investment articles private prisons are the fastest growing industry in America. They also said many government retirement funds are invested in these private prisons. Seems like a good reason to keep cannabis illegal they need to make money on that investment bur also seems morally corrupt. Drug crimes account for up to 60% of the prisoners in these prisons and some minorities are even higher than that. More people are arrested fo cannabis than any other single drug and the government spends more tax dollars on cannabis crimes than any other single drug. Hundreds of millions of your money. Makes Rodger look like a guppy in a huge pond full of barracudas to me.
As far Rodger goes he could have gotten out of jail Tuesday but one of the things he had to promise to get out was he would not provide marijuana to anyone. He told the judge he could not promise that as his ministry was to provide cannabis to patients and sacrament to followers.
So knock him all you guys want but he is sitting in jail right now because he won’t compromise his principles. All the other defendants are out. I wonder how many of his detractors would do as much.
He provided a service and contrary to what a few say he gave plenty away. He did not get rich doing/selling marijuana. There were lines of people at his home and ministry to get or buy marijuana if we can believe the stories. So answer me this if he was taking advantage of all these people why did they literally stand in line to be so abused.
Common sense dictates they were getting a better value or at least they felt safe getting the cannabis from Rodger that constitutes a service to the community no one else was giving them, particularly the people that want to crucify Rodger. No one is stopping you from giving it away or selling it for cost, well except the government and yourself.
What you seem to be saying is he made these patients stand in line through coercion or brainwashing, why did they stand in line and keep coming back if they could get a better deal somewhere else.
If the price was high lets lay the blame where it belongs at the feet of prohibition, the government and everyone that has done nothing to change that. If you fall into any of those categories you hardly have standing to attack a man who was leading the way through example and actually doing something about it. No matter how flawed it may have been.
If you can do better and do it more charitable please hurry and open your doors as the demand is huge and many of those patients are buying from dealers now that provide other drugs, hard drugs also. Something that THC ministry did not. It created a separation of sorts a wall between street dealers and patients that is now gone. The cost to do that are huge as is clear now, and all those involved are lucky to have ten dollars as this unfolds.
Its easy to attack someone like Rodger but if you must at least provide an alternative way for patients to get their medicine and be accurate, mention that he gave away plenty, and no one forced anyone to pay what ever the price was. I never ask what it cost but if it was $400.00 as some here claim, and you can get it for $175.00-$250.00 on the street why would anyone pay it.
I disagree that Rodger was greedy, I suppose I could be wrong but having known him for over 20 years I didn’t see it. What I saw was a man on a mission, who had a vision and a plan. He was doing what he thought was the right thing, but he was a man subject to all the things we all are, he made mistakes like all of us. Along the way he also did a lot of good. I make mistakes all the time, as did Rodger, as do his critics and oppressors, I hope we all can learn from them.

And the state by sate approach really ain’t gettin it.
Congress made this mess, Congress should clean it up.
Any Congress person who won’t take a stand and VOTE to REPEAL the Marijuana Tax act of 1937 should look for other work.
We need representatives who will END THE WARS.
The domestic one first.
July 15th, 2010 at 4:48 pm
he helped many medical marijuana patients, regardless of what he called it…he provided access in a safe environment, with regularity…at a minimum it highlights the need proper dispensaries to serve the need of more than 4,500 patients on this island…

@I_Am that was pretty entertaining.
I’m not religious just using the common sense give, but not used, to everyone.
I had a chuckle when you were trying to read apothecary,lol.
Kinda detracted your whole oil/medicine message.
I agree with the fact that the herb has properties GOOD for humans. But when I saw that video and then some of the others in the suggested column, kinda depletes the GOOD message, when stoners are videoing themselves getting stupid.
It’s how and why stereotypes are used to argue against it’s use. But I’ve seen people abuse paint and lacquer thinner too, which are very legal.
The News Show, with all the agency reps. standing there represents $$$$$how much wasted tax-payer money?
Not a good show. Embarrassing. But kids with knives are OK, to be released. Kids that smash old people and snatch purses are OK, for repeat offenses.
Because the feds don’t care about citizen safety in reality, just in rhetoric. Get those unsafe drugs off the street. Those non-violent, organic, non-medical, deadly, devil infused, gateway, miracle, evil plants.
Makes you wonder why such a versatile plants is illegal?

The laws against all drugs are unconstitutional.
You see, medicinal plants are our birthright as human beings, as denizens of this planet. To deny people medicinal plants that they want is as insane as denying them a choice of water, air or food. There is a reason certain people seek seek certain plants. Our bodies learned to seek out the plants they need in our environment many millions of years ago. Otherwise, we never would have gotten this far. Many of us, whether you realize it or not, are descended from tribes in Europe or elsewhere that used cannabis every day for it’s many different purposes.
In other words, our bodies know these molecules on a genetic level. Cannabis is one of the best remedies for chronic depression. Low levels of endorphins make people feel down. No wonder these people are looking for the very plant that contains the molecules their nervous systems require! Because humans and cannabis are chemically so similar, our relationship has become not just synergistic, but mutually beneficial.
Until greed got in the way. The black market economy is what is keeping the other economy going. Gangster run governments want their cut of the action, and the rights of individuals to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, not to mention the rights to privacy, are cast aside.
In this sad, mad world, a sick person grows the only plant that makes him feel that life is worth living, and the police come and throw him in a dungeon, steal all of his money and valuables, and keep it for themselves.
We have co-evolved together over the eons, and that is why plant medicine is the main source of inspiration for the modern pharmaceutical industry.
They contain all the molecules we need for health. The molecules of cannabis fit into our neuroreceptor sites so elegantly, because they are so similar. Without marijuana, scientists would never have discovered that we have an endocannabinoid system, in the most vital areas of the body.
July 16th, 2010 at 7:59 pm
Sadly some of these guys are going to snitch. Expect a lot of busts. All because one guy was greedy. Everyone who purchased on record will get a visit and let off if they give up a grower. Man this is ugly. While I’m no fan, this is time we should spend on Drunk drivimg and Meth labs. Jesus what a mess.
July 16th, 2010 at 8:44 pm
Dear People, why in the name of heaven do you assume that because a federal prosecutor said it, or because the newspaper or tv said it, it is true. I can attest to the fact that it is absolutely not true that Roger Christie is a big drug kingpin, nor that he is making big bucks off selling marijuana. I have known Roger very well since he first came to the Big Island in 1986. He has generally been lucky if he has enough to meet his household expenses. Even so, he will probably give the shirt off his back is you dont have one. It is the prosecuters job to throw every thing they can think 0f at a defendant, hoping something will stick.
I just heard on the news tonite that Roger was denied bail until his trial on Sept 8 because he supposedly is a danger to the community. Now that makes me mad! Murderers get bail, theves and drunk drivers and all manner of people get released on bail, but not Roger. Roger is probably the most undangerous person in Hilo.
July 16th, 2010 at 9:36 pm
Yep, the system is definitely messed up. On the federal level, you have Roger Christie locked up and likely facing over 20 years for being a martyr for marijuana.
On the state side, at the county level, our prosecutors this week directed police to release back into a therapeutic home three teenaged boys who pulled a knife on female staffers — actually held the knife to a staffers neck — and stole the therapeutic-home vehicle.
Clearly, those boys are more of a threat to our community than Roger Christie.
I absolutely do not understand the lack of sensibility in our criminal justice system. It’s maddening, to say the least.
We should not waste jail time or prosecution time on Roger Christie, or anyone engaged in growing or distributing herb — it’s herb. It is such an archaic argument, it’s unbelievable it is still being argued in 2010.
It is my wish and hope that our federal laws reflect the will of the people, that marijuana be legalized, taxed, and regulated by the Department of Taxation and the Internal Revenue Service.

Roger was out-lawyered. His public defender wrote 4 pages. The DA wrote 36, complete with a table of contents and a table of authorities, tells how Roger was open about his ministry, how he continued to act as before after the raid, they have taken off the kid gloves and are attacking him as if he were in charge of a cartel instead of a church. We need public outcry! This man is NO DANGER to our community! The Ministry is closed and says so, it is time for all of us to stand up!

NON DRUGGIE:
Please stop writing in all caps. It further exacerbates the reefer madness in my opinion, and I administrate this blog. I am also in total disagreement with your stance against marijuana and I’ll happily tell you why if you wish to know. I just want to see first if you want to engage in a non CAPITAL-letter written dialogue.

Let me guess now; the real name of NON DRUGGIE is Mel Gibson.
