MARIJUANA LAW DISPENSARIES ARE NEEDED FOR PATIENTS

Please support SB 2213 Compassion Centers. It is of great urgency that
medical marijuana patients in this state have safe and legal access to
their medicine when they need it, without having to depend on
gardening it themselves or having a single caregiver do it and risk
violent theft in the act.

Dispensaries are necessary because people who are sick and dying are
in desperate need of a safe, legal, and reliable source of their
medicine. Medical patients should not be forced to go to street drug
pushers to secure a legal medicine for themselves.

This bill will only ensure that this medicine stays as medicine in the
hands of those who need it and are legally allowed to possess it,
rather than supporting and furthering criminal enterprises within the
state by forcing legal patients to go to the black market for their
medicine.

We are not California and Hawai'i acts nothing like California. To say
the same thing that happened in Los Angeles will happen anywhere in
Hawai'i is forgetting our spirit of malama.
