Senior state lawmakers in Hawaii last week proposed legislation to legalize adult-use cannabis, regulate the plant’s production and distribution, and establish a new agency to oversee the state’s adult-use, medical cannabis, and hemp industries, Marijuana Moment reports.
The legislation was sponsored by the Chairs of the House Judiciary and Hawaiian Affairs Committee David Tarnas, (D), and the Senate Health and Human Services Committee Joy San Buenaventura, (D), respectively. Adults aged 21+ would be allowed to own up to an ounce cannabis flower, and five grams of concentrated concentrate. The proposal would also legalize small-scale cannabis home grows, allowing adults to grow up to six plants for personal use with a maximum of 10 plants — and two pounds of homegrown cannabis — per household, the report said.
Hawaii Cannabis and Hemp Office would also be established. This office would oversee the adult-use cannabis industry, the medical marijuana industry, and the hemp and hemp products industries in the state.
Hawaii Senate approved cannabis legalization reforms in the past year. However, the House of Representatives failed to approve the measure. Report said that supporters believe there is a chance for the issue to be resolved this year partly due to the support of Rep. Nadine Nakamura.
Meanwhile, Hawaii Gov. Josh Green (D) — who supports legalizing adult-use cannabis in the state — recently signed an executive order providing stopgap protections for medical cannabis caregivers after some provisions of the state’s medical cannabis program expired.
