Interisland medical cannabis transport bill back
A measure authorizing qualifying patients to transport medical cannabis between islands for personal use that was passed by the 2019 Legislature and subsequently vetoed by Gov. David Ige is back before lawmakers.
Senate Bill 241 would amend state law to allow for a qualifying in-state or out-of-state patient to transport cannabis between the islands for personal medical use. A measure to do just that was passed by the 2019 Legislature, however, Ige vetoed the measure, under the rationale that marijuana, including medical cannabis, remains illegal under federal law.
