While we prefer legalization with a more competitive market, this first step is an approach that ensures a safe and controlled rollout of legalization while maintaining Louisiana’s commitment to patients and public safety.
Hawai’i has considered legalization bills for years, but they have never made it past the finish line. It’s time to give voters a chance to stop punishing adults for relaxing with cannabis.
Much opposition to legalization focused on Amendment 3's supposed lack of guardrails on public consumption and the absence of home-grow. A Republican-sponsored legalization bill — H0555 — would address both concerns.
We are extremely disappointed that the Hawai’i Senate has both failed to schedule committee hearings on legalization by the deadline and it narrowly voted down a decriminalization expansion bill (S.B. 319).
