REMINDER: Registered voters in Hawaii County: Vote FOR Question 1

On Tuesday, you have the opportunity to make the cultivation and possession of small amounts of marijuana for adult personal use the lowest law enforcement priority on the Big Island.

If you have not already, please get out and vote FOR Ballot Question 1 at one of these early voting locations today, or remember to vote FOR Ballot Question 1 on November 4.

If approved, Question 1 would direct local law enforcement to make the investigation, enforcement, and prosecution of certain adult marijuana offenses involving fewer than 24 plants or less than 24 ounces their lowest priority. It will remain illegal to sell marijuana on the criminal market, cultivate marijuana on public property, drive while under the influence of marijuana, or be in possession of more than 24 plants or 24 ounces.

To read more about Ballot Question 1 and learn how you can become more involved in the effort to pass it, please visit the Web site of Project Peaceful Sky, which is spearheading the initiative.

Voters in no fewer than 10 cities all across the country have approved similar measures in an attempt to free up police resources, clear court dockets, and save taxpayers money.

Please help spread the word about Ballot Question 1 and ensure that Hawaii County takes a step in the right direction by forwarding this alert along to everyone you know on the Big Island.
