Title:
A couple minutes for compassion?
Message:
Two bills that would make changes to the Hawaii medical
marijuana program could be voted on as early as today on the Hawaii Senate floor. Please make a
quick call to your senator and ask him or her to support both of these bills.
SB 58
would make many positive reforms to the current medical marijuana
program. This
bill would, among other things, increase the amount of medical marijuana
that a
patient can possess, while retaining the arrest and prosecution
protection. It would also allow patient-to-patient transfer of medical
marijuana without arrest.
Please ask your senator to vote “yes” on SB 58 today.
SB 175
is also up for consideration on the Senate floor. This bill will transfer
jurisdiction of the medical marijuana program from the department of public
safety to the department of health. This common sense bill will align Hawaii
with a vast majority of the other medical marijuana states as well as recognize
medical marijuana for what it is – a public health issue, not a public safety
issue. Please ask your senator to vote “yes”
on SB 175.
Thank you for all of your support.
