What Excuse Will Iowa Legislators Think To Dodge Marijuana Next While Illinois Reps AND Senators Move To Legalize Marijuana “Nearly Right Away” And Hawaii Legislators Are Looking At Legislation Opining That The Final Say Rests With The States And Federal Law Is Not A Valid Reason To Remain Ignorant And Ignore Us?

First seen on Carl Olsen’s blog, it turns out some legislators in Hawaii may believe marijuana laws are not preempted by federal law. Then next door Illinois is going to legalize. 2019 will be an interesting year to find out what excuse Iowa’s legislators hide under next. Check this out:

THE OPINION OF SOME LEGISLATORS IN HAWAII

SB2217: clarifies that medical use of cannabis is not considered to be a state or federal crime

HB2572: clarifies that medical use of cannabis is not considered to be a state or federal crime

HB 2572 Text is as follows.

A BILL FOR AN ACT

RELATING TO THE MEDICAL USE OF CANNABIS.

BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF HAWAII:

SECTION 1. The legislature finds that the authority to accept the medical use of controlled substances rests with the states, which is why the State of Hawaii was able to accept the medical use of cannabis in 2000 and create a state regulated medical use of cannabis program.

However, some issues related to the medical use of cannabis remain unresolved, such as the implications of state and federal scheduling of cannabis as a schedule I controlled substance and the interaction of conflicting state and federal law regarding cannabis and its derivative products. These unresolved issues affect the State’s ability to regulate certain aspects of the medical use of cannabis in context of uncertain federal enforcement policies.

The purpose of this Act is to convene the medical cannabis study group to examine the complexities surrounding the topic of the legality of medical cannabis.

SECTION 2. (a) There is established the medical cannabis study group to examine the complexities surrounding the topic of the legality of medical cannabis, including:

(1) The United States Attorney General’s January 4, 2018 Memorandum For All United States Attorneys titled “Marijuana Enforcement”;

(2) Article VI, clause 2 of the United States Constitution;

(3) The United States Constitution Amendment II;

(4) The United States Constitution Amendment X; and

(5) Additional resources pertaining to states’ rights.

(b) The study group shall consist of the following members:

(1) Two members of the house of representatives, one of whom shall be selected by the speaker of the house of representatives and one of whom shall be selected by the minority leader of the house of representatives;

(2) Two members of the senate who are selected by the president of the senate;

(3) A medical doctor with expertise in medical cannabis and both state and federal rights and authority as it relates to the prescription of drugs to be selected jointly by the speaker of the house of representatives and the president of the senate;

(4) The attorney general; and

(5) A representative from the Hawaii Rifle Association.

(d) The study group may request assistance and feedback from subject matter experts, as needed, to enable the study group to carry out its work.

(e) The study group shall submit a report of its findings and recommendations, including any proposed legislation, to the legislature no later than twenty days prior to the convening of the regular session of 2019.

SECTION 3. This Act shall take effect on July 1, 3000.

Then, there’s SB2217, the companion bill in the Senate down in Hawaii:

A BILL FOR AN ACT

relating to the medical use of cannabis.

BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF HAWAII:

The legislature also finds that the state scheduling of cannabis as a controlled substance does not apply to the medical use of cannabis in Hawaii, because patients are able to engage in the medical use of cannabis without facing the criminal penalties associated with the unlawful acquisition, use, possession, cultivation, distribution, and transportation of a controlled substance, and because moving cannabis into a different state schedule does not alter the medical use of cannabis in Hawaii.

The legislature also finds that the federal scheduling of cannabis as a controlled substance does not apply to the medical use of cannabis in Hawaii because the medical use of cannabis in Hawaii is currently accepted medical use in treatment in the United States, and because moving cannabis into a different federal schedule does not alter the medical use of cannabis in Hawaii.

The purpose of this Act is to recognize that the state and federal scheduling of cannabis as a controlled substance does not apply to the medical use of cannabis in Hawaii, which clarifies the finding that Hawaii’s medical use of cannabis program does not violate federal law.

SECTION 2. Section 329-14, Hawaii Revised Statutes, is amended to read as follows:

“§329-14 Schedule I. (a) The controlled substances listed in this section are included in schedule I.
