Hawaii legislators are trying to close down stores that sell hemp-derived products. SF Gate reports. In the a resolution The state House of Representatives introduced a bill that stated “there are allegedly more than eighty-four operators of illegal dispensaries” and the number is “exponentially increasing.”
“…the Department of Health, Department of the Attorney General, and Department of Law Enforcement are urged to coordinate an enforcement plan to address the lack of enforceable compliance, rules, and regulations regarding the surge of illegal dispensary operators that sell cannabis labeled as hemp.” — Hawaii House Resolution 141
Hawaii Senate recently passed two bills to reform state medical cannabis programs, including language to clamp down on retailers of high-THC hemp product. Last week, the Senate Judiciary and Ways and Means Committee recommended that both bills be passed.
The resolution notes that the “illegal dispensaries” are located around tourist centers, such as airports, near state-approved medical cannabis dispensaries, and near schools and playgrounds – locations that are usually provided a buffer zone in state-approved adult-use laws.
“…Illegal dispensaries offer immediate access to cannabis without age gating or the need for a medical cannabis card; both online and delivery services,” the resolution states, “and products potentially contaminated with pesticides, solvents, synthetic cannabinoids, and other harmful substances.”
The bill was not considered by the whole chamber.
