Reefer Madness is only pushed and believed by a very small, lunatic-fringe-minority of Americans. The rest of us sane, rational, normal Americans just laugh our butts off at and mock utterly desperate prohibitionists and their Reefer Madness rhetoric.
I’m for legalization but there’s 2 things that need to be considered and avoided:
1) approx. 70% of the legal dispensaries and grow farms in the US are now owned or funded by Chinese with ties to the triads. With an already established huge Asian population (& an existing triad population) and an international port that the state has ALREADY dropped funding for inspections at, Hawai’i will be a very attractive market to these Chinese business owners. That’s the potential for a lot of trouble Hawai’i isn’t prepared to handle, a huge influx of criminals, an essentially uninspected port at this point AND a lot of the ‘monster houses” are built by Chinese to house workers for cheap, so we’ll see a rise in those in our neighborhoods.
2). This will bring in a lot of tourists, mainly younger tourists with much less disposable income who won’t be contributing much to the local economy outside of buying weed. We need to focus on quality of tourists, families that have money and savings, who are going out to eat, paying for activities and shopping… not broke 20 somethings who can’t afford to eat out or shop and are looking on social media for free things to do while here, like bombarding local beaches. Quality of tourists, not quantity.
Cannabis should be just as legal and easy to obtain anywhere as alcohol currently is. No exceptions. It's so easy: As legal and easy to obtain/use as alcohol currently is. Why hold relatively benign, often healing cannabis to any sort of irrational stricter double standard than perfectly legal alcohol?
<<<<<<::::Legalize cannabis federally within each and every state. This way, irrational prohibitionist politicians can't obstruct and prevent legalization against the will of the vast majority of Americans whom support full federal cannabis legalization nationwide. Treat cannabis exactly like we treat far more dangerous and deadly yet perfectly legal alcohol. Legal in all states.::::>>>>>>>>>
Hawaii will be looking at any new revenue sources since Maui fire decimated tourism income. I know 2 pot dealers in Illinois that have been driven out of business by legal weed. Legal weed is great. Better hours, consistent quality, very little stems and seeds and a reasonable price. Studies have been done, the pearl clutching folks groundless predictions of mayhem have yet again been proven false.
That seems to be the problem lol we should look somewhere else for our own solutions in Hawaii is keep our decisions Hawaii And in Hawaii we don’t need to follow the mainland bullshit we’re tough enough here at Hawaii besides we have some of the best quality the hell with Massachusetts and they’re mentality and their laws should not affect us and we should not follow theirs . We are Hawaii not Massachusetts
Governor UN Green is so behind…trying to copy other state's stupid ineffective rules and gaslighting. Instead Senator Schatz passed and the president signed a federal bill the Medical Marijuana and Cannabidiol Research Expansion Act that allows us to currently be federally legal and have a solid market for researchers around the nation. Taxachusetts is corrupt, like here with our 8 licenses oligarchy. The 400 buck oz was never 2020 prices outside of the mids at the dispos. Organized crime hasn't been interested in any US cannabis in well over a decade. Unless you count the grows here and in the US that ship back to Asia or the state government working with the 8 licenses in Hawai'i to maintain a for-profit oligarchy as organized crime, which a good law firm could likely do…Especially if the AG continues to work to ensure the profits of a handful of organizations that they control and allow to break a schedule 1 federal law. The Gov is now proposing a special unit of law enforcement to go after the dispos competitors as they give the dipos a head start with giving them a monopoly on first sales.
Why Massachusetts? Its the MOST SOCIALIST COMMUNUST state next to Hawaii. O yah – high tax revenues to benefit government workers and officials. Communist economic strategy.

What a Joke !
Both states run by lying liberal moonbats and Fake Indians and Diversity hires.
Fun Fact: More drugs, more drug addicts and homeless.

Legalization of recreational cannabis will bring tourists faster than current attempts to lure tourists.
