Status of Medical Marijuana (Cannabis) in Hawaii.

  Info on Hawaii and Medical Cannabis  

Hawaii has a MEDICAL MARIJUANA (cannabis) LAW

SUMMARY: Governor Ben Cayetano signed Senate Bill 862 into law on June 14, 2000. The law took effect on December 28, 2000. The law removes state-level criminal penalties on the use, possession and cultivation of marijuana by patients who possess a signed statement from their physician affirming that he or she suffers from a debilitating condition and that the "potential benefits of medical use of marijuana would likely outweigh the health risks." Patients diagnosed with the following illnesses are afforded legal protection under this act: cachexia; cancer; chronic pain; Crohn’s disease; epilepsy and other disorders characterized by seizures; glaucoma; HIV or AIDS; multiple sclerosis and other disorders characterized by muscle spasticity; and nausea. Other conditions are subject to approval by the Hawaii Department of Health. Patients (or their primary caregivers) may legally possess no more than one ounce of usable marijuana, and may cultivate no more than seven marijuana plants, of which no more than three may be mature. The law establishes a mandatory, confidential state-run patient registry that issues identification cards to qualifying patients.  

Possession/Cultivation: The amount of marijuana that may be possessed jointly between the qualifying patient and the primary caregiver is an "adequate supply," which shall not exceed three mature marijuana plants, four immature marijuana plants, and one ounce of usable marijuana per each mature plant.

Hawaii: How to get a medical marijuana permit August 9, 9:59 PM NORML Examiner Angela Macdonald | "The life of Hawaii's land is perpetuated in righteousness by providing protection for the sick, injured and dying" --- If you live in Hawaii you are required to do things a little differently than most states with a registry program. Instead of registering through a state run registry, patients in Hawaii must register with the department of public safety. The application forms are also not distributed to patients, but instead distributed only to medical doctors in the state. If you are looking for a doctor to recommend medical marijuana in Hawaii, the THC Foundation has a clinic as does Medical Marijuana of Hawaii. Once you obtain your recommendation, you will send it with a $25 fee. For a list of qualifying conditions in Hawaii click here.

All Topics > Criminal Law > The Treatment of Pain and Medical Marijuana > The Treatment of Pain and Medical Marijuana Hawaii | Over the past fifty years, pharmaceutical companies have spent hundreds of billions of dollars trying to develop a “non-addictive” pain medication that could also provide relief from acute and chronic pain, but without the risk of serious side effects. The medical community has recognized the benefits of medical marijuana for many years. In fact, major pharmaceutical companies actually sold THC (acting ingredient in marijuana) in their drug products for decades until the federal government enacted legislation prohibiting the sale of marijuana back in

1937. The use of medical marijuana to treat both neuropathic and visceral pain has shown significant promise with very few side effects.

Medical Marijuana: Hawaii Legislature Overrides Veto of Bill to Study Program Problems - from Drug War Chronicle, Issue #594, 7/17/09 | The Hawaii legislature Wednesday voted to override Republican Gov. Linda Lingle's veto of a bill that would establish a task force to examine problems and critical issues surrounding the state's medical marijuana law. Legislators voted to enact the bill, SB 1058, by a margin of 25-0 in the Senate and 38-9 in the House. Volcano National Park, Hawaii IslandHawaii became the first state to legalize medical marijuana through the legislative process when it passed its law in 2000. But patients and providers have complained over the years about various aspects of the law -- the program's administration by law enforcement instead of health officials, for example -- and have been urging the legislature to take a second look.

Erowid Cannabis Vault : Legal Status, U.S. LAW | Both Cannabis and Tetrahydrocannabinols, the active chemicals contained in Cannabis plants, are Schedule I in the United States. This means they are federally illegal to cultivate, buy, possess, or distribute (sell, trade or give) in all forms (cannabis plants, extracts, hash, hash oil, thc, etc) except synthetic THC (Marinol) which is Schedule III. The federal scheduling of Cannabis was disputed in 1988 by Judge Francis Young, an administrative law judge for the DEA, who recommended that marijuana be reclassified as schedule II on the grounds that if a respectable minority of doctors endorse it, then it has a "currently accepted medical use".

Legal and medical status of cannabis - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia | Cannabis is in Schedule IV of the Single Convention on Narcotic Drugs, making it subject to special restrictions. Article 2 provides for the following, in reference to Schedule IV drugs:

A Party shall, if in its opinion the prevailing conditions in its country render it the most appropriate means of protecting the public health and welfare, prohibit the production, manufacture, export and import of, trade in, possession or use of any such drug except for amounts which may be necessary for medical and scientific research only, including clinical trials therewith to be conducted under or subject to the direct supervision and control of the Party.

This provision, while apparently providing for the limitation of cannabis to research purposes only, also seems to allow some latitude for nations to make their own judgments. The official Commentary on the Single Convention indicates that Parties are expected to make that judgment in good faith. Click > here < for more.

Report Title: Medical Marijuana; Medical Cannabis; Department of Health; Dispensaries; Licensed Producer Description: Amends the term "medical marijuana" to "medical cannabis"; transfers the administration of the program from the department of public safety to the department of health; authorizes a

registration fee of $50; establishes the medical cannabis advisory board; provides for the department of health to license producers to dispense medical cannabis. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES H.B. NO. 967 TWENTY-FIFTH LEGISLATURE, 2009 STATE OF HAWAII A BILL FOR AN ACT relating to medical cannabis. BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF HAWAII: SECTION 1. The legislature finds that the State's medical marijuana program, enacted into law in 2000, is a public health program conceived out of concern for the health and welfare of the seriously ill. Registration for the program is currently administered by the narcotics enforcement division of the department of public safety.

Many patients, however, are intimidated by the prospect of dealing with a narcotics enforcement agency, and do not apply for certification. Therefore, they do not benefit from the protection from arrest or the threat of arrest by state or county authorities that is offered to those who are certified by the State under this program. Furthermore, the program's current placement in the narcotics enforcement division is in part responsible for the reluctance of many physicians to certify patients. These physicians are concerned that their written certifications will be reviewed by the same entity that monitors physicians on issues of over-prescribing, "doctor shopping," and similar issues.

In June 2008 the department of public safety violated patients' privacy by mistakenly releasing private patient information to a reporter for the Hawaii Tribune-Herald. The list included the name of each of the four thousand two hundred patients, the location of their cannabis plants, license information, and the names of their physicians. Since the mission of the department of health is "to protect and improve the health and environment for all people in Hawaii, the department is experienced in dealing with private health records, and the use of medical cannabis is properly regarded as a health issue, not simply as an exception to the State's laws on controlled substances, the legislature finds that the State's medical marijuana program would be more properly administered by the department of health rather than by the department of public safety.

IN SEARCH OF A VIABLE DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM FOR HAWAII'S MEDICAL MARIJUANA PROGRAM - PETER G. PAN, Researcher; Assisted by Brooke Evans. Report No. 4, 2004 - Legislative Reference Bureau; State Capitol, Honolulu, Hawaii 96813 * http://www.hawaii.gov/lrb/ * This report has been cataloged as follows: In search of a viable distribution system for Hawaii's medical marijuana program. Honolulu, HI: Legislative Reference Bureau,

December 2004. 1. Marijuana -- Therapeutic use. KFH421.5.L35 A25 04-4

FOREWORD | This report was undertaken in response to House Concurrent Resolution No. 152, H.D. 2, 2004. The Bureau was requested to "conduct a study on how medical marijuana plants and products may be procured and distributed to patients registered with Hawaii's medical marijuana program. During the 2000 Regular Session, the Hawaii Legislature enacted the Medical Use of Marijuana law, codified as Part IX of Chapter 329, Hawaii Revised Statutes. Essentially, the medical use of marijuana by qualified individuals in Hawaii is permitted under certain conditions. However, the law places certain restrictions on the distribution and use of marijuana. This situation is exacerbated by a conflicting general federal prohibition on the use of marijuana, including distribution, for any purposes. This study searches for a viable system within which medical marijuana may be realistically distributed to qualified patients that both complies with state law and satisfies federal restrictions. Ms. Brooke Evans, Public Policy Graduate Fellow, assisted in the research and writing of this study. Ms. Evans was solely responsible for chapter 3 relating to the federal supply of marijuana for therapeutic use. Ken H. Takayama Acting Director December 2004

FACT SHEET | Ten states, including Hawaii, have adopted medical marijuana laws. These laws allow certain individuals to cultivate and use marijuana for medical purposes. These marijuana users must comply with the respective state's medical marijuana law, including being certified or registered for use due to certain specified medical conditions. Federal law, however, prohibits the cultivation and any use of marijuana. Particularly nettlesome for users in the ten states that do have medical marijuana laws is the issue of distribution of marijuana.

This study examines various issues including: • Distinguishing between legal and illegal marijuana use, including enforcement of medical marijuana laws • Experience of other states in obtaining access to marijuana supplied by the federal government for therapeutic research • Potential medical marijuana distribution systems • Other inherent difficulties of compliance with medical marijuana laws including: • Acquisition • Possession • Transport • Adequate supply • Distribution ...

Medical / Medicinal Marijuana is used by many people ... also have medical marijuana laws: Arizona, Oregon, Washington, Nevada, Alaska and Hawaii ... Marijuana has many possible medical uses. Positive effects are claimed for ailments such as cancer, AIDS, and glaucoma. AIDS can cause a loss of appetite known as "wasting syndrome", which can lead to drastic weight loss and weakness. Chemotherapy used in the treatment of cancer causes nausea resulting in an inability to keep down food. Marijuana's healing nature for these two illnesses is a result of its ability to increase a person's appetite as well as relieving nausea, allowing a patient to regain weight. Marijuana reportedly helps glaucoma patients by reducing intraocular pressure that can cause damage to the eye. Click here for more.

Marijuana: Hawaii Insurer Denies Woman Transplant Because of Pot Use - from Drug War Chronicle, Issue #597, 8/13/09 | Waimea, Hawaii, resident Kimberly Reyes died July 27 at Hilo Medical Center, 10 days after her insurance provider denied the liver transplant she needed because she had tested positive for marijuana in a series of toxicology tests. Reyes was not a registered medical marijuana user, but her family told the Honolulu Advertiser she had used it to deal with nausea, pain, and disorientation caused by the hepatitis that killed her. Reyes' attorney, Ted Herhold of San Francisco, told the Observer that the diagnostic test results were the sole basis for Hawaii Medical Service Association's (HMSA) denial of transplant coverage. Reyes' husband Robin, and her mother, Noni Kuhns, said the decision was based on failure to comply with HMSA's policy forbidding drug use, but that neither HMSA nor her doctors had told her just what that policy was.

"Just because someone takes a hit off of a joint doesn't mean that it should be the end of their life -- this is not a reason to deny life," said Kuhns. HMSA has refused to comment or provide its policies on drug use and transplant approval.

Denial of transplants to marijuana users has happened before. Last year, Seattle-area musician Timothy Garon died after being refused a transplant because of doctor-recommended

medical marijuana use. In 2003, Oregon resident Dave Myers was removed from a transplant list merely for Marinol, a prescription medicine related to marijuana. Visit: http://stopthedrugwar.org/chronicle/597/kimberly_reyes_denied_liver_transplant_marijuana

Difficulty lingers with medical marijuana - POSTED: May 19, 2009 | The U.S. Supreme Court's rejection of two California counties' objections to the state's medical marijuana law removes barriers to systems there and in 12 other states with similar laws. A task force approved by this year's Hawaii Legislature should examine ways to make the program effective. After the Bush administration raided medical dispensaries in California, the high court ruled in 2005 that the federal government could prosecute medical users of marijuana for violating federal drug laws despite state laws permitting that use. However, Attorney General Eric Holder said two months ago that the Obama administration would not interfere with states' medical marijuana laws.

The Supreme Court, without comment, rejected appeals yesterday by two California counties that objected to the state law and claimed that it should be struck down as violating the federal law. The high court let stand a decision by an appellate state court ruling that the federal law did not render the state law void. Unfortunately, Hawaii Public Safety Director Clayton A. Frank, whose agency administers the state's medical marijuana system, has insisted on adhering to the federal law. Several of the task force's functions "seem to be aimed at ways to circumvent federal law," he testified to legislators.

"The use of marijuana, even medical marijuana, is still illegal under federal law," Frank insisted more than two weeks after Holder stated the Justice Department's hands-off policy. "Until that law is changed, it is inappropriate for the state of Hawaii law enforcement agencies to recommend ways to maintain, transport or increase the use of marijuana." Since Hawaii legalized marijuana for medical purposes nine years ago, more than 1,000 residents have registered with Frank's office to use marijuana for easing pain from such diseases as AIDS, cancer and multiple sclerosis. Patients must be certified by a doctor and are limited by the amount of marijuana they may possess.

However, patients in need of it have been "dismayed at the thought that they must go to the criminal market" to obtain it, said Jeanne Y. Ohta, executive director of the Drug Policy Forum of Hawaii. Patients commonly have experienced

difficulty in finding a physician or caregiver. A 13-member task force approved by legislators is to examine and report by the end of August on issues and obstacles encountered by patients and by law-enforcement agencies in the medical marijuana program and compare Hawaii's program with those in other states.

An obvious change would be to place the program under the Department of Health. The Public Safety Department should not administer a program that its director abhors as illegal, even though the U.S. Supreme Court has declined to intervene.

Governor vetoes medical marijuana study bill, Hawaii County to have marijuana question on November ballot Last update: August 25, 2008 | Although at least half a dozen bills that would have improved marijuana policy in Hawaii were introduced this session, only one made it to the governor's desk. In July, Gov. Linda Lingle (R) vetoed HB 2675, which would have established a temporary task force comprised of state officials, physicians, and patients to examine critical issues affecting Hawaii's medical marijuana program. Although the Senate voted overwhelmingly (21-1) to override Gov. Lingle's veto, the House failed to follow suit, which means that questions regarding adequate supply, growing facilities, and the inter-island transport of medical marijuana will remain unanswered for at least another year. Gov. Lingle's veto was surprising given her 2002 campaign pledge to uphold Hawaii's medical marijuana law. In her official veto statement, Gov. Lingle claimed that, since the federal government doesn't recognize the medical value of marijuana, the studies proposed by HB 2675 would be improper.   Visit - http://www.mpp.org/states/hawaii/

“Medical cannabis outlook clarified” By Ken Kobayashi, Advertiser Courts Writer. “U.S. Attorney Ed Kubo says he won't seek from the state a list of doctors who certify marijuana use for their patients and he won't prosecute the physicians just because they recommend the drug use. But, Kubo says, doctors could face prosecution if, for example, they certify

marijuana use for a condition that is not "debilitating" as required under the state medical marijuana law; direct a patient to get marijuana from a street dealer; or give a patient a sample of marijuana.” The Honolulu Advertiser ...

Judge Bans Prosecution of Doctors Who Prescribe Marijuana Dateline: 9/10/00. A Hawaii federal judge has ruled that the federal government cannot prosecute doctors who recommend or prescribe marijuana for medically valid treatment of patients. On Friday, Sept. 8, 2000, U.S. District Court Judge William Alsup in San Francisco issued a permanent injunction banning the federal government from taking any action, including investigation, leading to the revocation of a physician's license "merely because the doctor recommends medical marijuana to a patient based on a sincere medical judgment."

USA: Hawaii approves medical use through legislation | The Hawaii Senate passed a bill on 24 April that will allow the medical use of Cannabis by patients with certain severe or life-

threatening illnesses. The Hawaiian House of Representatives has already approved the measure, and Gov. Ben Cayetano has said he will sign the law. Hawaii is the first state of the U.S.A. to approve the medicinal use of marijuana through legislation instead of a voter referendum as in Alaska, Washington, Hawaii, Arizona, Nevada, Oregon, Maine and the District of Columbia. The Federal Justice Department is challenging those laws. Patients who want to smoke marijuana to alleviate pain, combat chemotherapy treatments and stimulate appetite would require written certification from a doctor and would have to register annually with the state public safety department. "This bill will protect from arrest both the patient who might find a use for marijuana and the doctor who might recommend its use," said Democratic Sen. Suzanne Chun Oakland, the chairwoman of the Health and Human Services Committee. ACM-Bulletin of the 30th of April 2000...

Hawaii's law was enacted by the legislature and signed by the governor in 2000, Vermont's was enacted by the legislature and passed into law without the governor's signature in May 2004, Rhode Island's was passed into law over the governor's veto in January 2006, and New Mexico's

legislation was signed into law by Governor Bill Richardson on April 2, 2007.

Proven : Cannabis is Safe Medicine by Ian Williams Goddard | In reaction to medical cannabis access referendums on the ballots in Arizona and California, former presidents Gerald Ford, Jimmy Carter, and George Bush signed a letter stating that they "categorically oppose'' access to cannabis for its many proven therapeutic uses such as the prevention of blindness and epileptic seizures. Their chief concern was that legal medical access would send the message that cannabis is safe. The presidents can, however, lay their safety concerns to rest because the scientific literature overwhelmingly confirms that cannabis is both an effective and safe medicine. The Cannabis Safety Profile. The journal PHARMACOLOGICAL REVIEWS reports that decades of research prove that, "Compared with legal drugs...marijuana does not pose greater risks." Yet based upon

mortality statistics, we can safely conclude that cannabis is one of the safest medical drugs known, for, while prescription drugs, defined as safe by the FDA, kill up to 27,000 and aspirin up to 1,000 Americans per year, cannabis kills 0 per year. Click here for more.
