Delete Cannabis from Criminal Code in Hawaii

Delete Cannabis from the Criminal Code in the State of Hawaii.

Leave Medical Care and medical decisions to the experts.

Police men and Politicians are not licensed to practice medicine.

Under Current Law, Hawaii has, for over a decade, recognized the reports that Medical Marijuana well-documented medical use. Scientific articles show that it is safe and effective for pain, indigestion, depression, anxiety, and many other symptoms.

Law Enforcement should serve the Public Welfare and Public Health. Removing Cannabis as a criminally contraband substance from the criminal code in Hawaii would remove the conflict between Hawaii's recognition that Cannabis is successful as relief for pain and other disease symptoms and the law enforcement entities that act to enforce Cannabis as a criminal substance.

In other words, when the DEA makes Marijuana a Schedule 1 drug, with no medical use it is not acting from a basis of medical science but from an artificial designation of law that then directs the entire machinery of law enforcement.

By Presidential Order, Obama, authorized the use of Medical Marijuana in the VA System as not being a drug offense; that one would not loose their VA benefits if a drug screen demonstrated the presence of cannabis if they had a recommendation for Medical Marijuana. This Presidential Order protects the medical rights of our Veteran Heroes right here in the State of Hawaii.

Thus eliminating Cannabis from the Criminal Code of the State of Hawaii, removes the contradiction that exists because Cannabis is a safe and healing herb that has been made illegal by those who have no scientific basis for creating that law.
