Title:
Hearing tomorrow, submit testimony in favor of regulated dispensaries
Message:
Last week, two House committees passed a very restrictive
version of SB 1458, a bill that would allow medical marijuana dispensing in
Hawaii. The bill, which will now set up a pilot program with a single
dispensary, will be heard in House Judiciary tomorrow. Please
submit written testimony to the House Judiciary committee in support of the
Senate version of this bill today!
The version of SB 1458
that the Senate passed would create three classes of licenses to allow
state-regulated dispensaries, and would ensure that medical marijuana patients
in Hawaii have safe and reliable access to the medicine that their physicians
recommend. The
version recently passed out of House committees would only allow for one dispensary
on Maui and would establish a 30% tax on medical marijuana. Please
submit testimony supporting the more inclusive and patient-focused Senate
version today.
It is important that committee members have as much supportive testimony at their disposal as possible. Please
use our talking points to submit written testimony today!
