It was said to be the first of its kind on Hawaii Island. At that point, the collective had been open for six months, at a time when medical marijuana dispensaries were about to become legal in the state of Hawaiʻi.

But Ruggles said his Puʻuhonua Collective was not a dispensary, and he said his collective was operating within the confines of the law.  The host for this episode is Marsha Joyner.
