Governor Green’s New Twist on Hawaii’s Medical Marijuana Policy After the puff of smoke cleared from a failed attempt to legalize recreational cannabis in Hawaii, Governor Josh Green is sparking up a new approach to expand the state’s medical marijuana program. It seems there’s more than one way to roll a joint—or in this case, to roll out marijuana reforms. Governor Green proposes to let anyone with health concerns qualify for medical marijuana, ditching the old model that limited access to those with only certain medical conditions. It’s a bit like saying, “You don’t need to have danced the hula to enjoy a good luau.” This broader eligibility mimics the state’s approach to reproductive rights, suggesting that personal health decisions should be made between a person and their healthcare provider, not by the state. This fresh take on medical marijuana access could potentially be implemented by regulators alone, bypassing the legislative hula hoop. It’s a clever sidestep that could quickly open the dispensary doors to more people, granting them the privacy to keep their medical histories under wraps. Governor Green’s method reminds us that, much like rolling a joint, there’s more than one way to expand access to cannabis. It’s an innovative shift that keeps Hawaii in the conversation about the future of cannabis policy. https://www.marijuanamoment.net/hawaii-governor-floats-plan-to-allow-medical-marijuana-for-any-condition-after-recreational-legalization-bill-fails/
