Support Responsible Cannabis Regulation in Hawaii

Recent signers:
Matt McDowell and 19 others have signed recently.

The Issue

Hawaii is at a decision point in how cannabis is regulated.

The Pakalolo Project is a community led effort presenting the Hawaii Cannabis Sustainability and Economic Growth Act, a legislative framework designed to replace unregulated cannabis activity with clear rules, public oversight, and local control.

The proposal prioritizes.
• Public safety
• Economic opportunity for Hawaii based businesses
• Fair and enforceable regulation
• Sustainable agricultural practices

This framework was developed through input from patients, caregivers, legacy growers, industry professionals, and community members.

Why this matters

Cannabis already exists across Hawaii, yet current policies leave gaps in safety, consistency, and accountability. Patients face access challenges, small operators struggle to participate legally, and enforcement remains uneven.

This proposal seeks to.
• Establish clear standards for testing, labeling, and age verification
• Create pathways for local farmers and small businesses
• Preserve county authority and local decision making
• Maintain existing prohibitions on public consumption and impaired driving

What signing means

Signing this petition shows public interest in a regulated and transparent approach to cannabis policy. It encourages legislators to review the proposal. It does not authorize cannabis use, sales, or public consumption, and it does not replace the legislative process.

All policy decisions remain with the Hawaii State Legislature.

Mahalo for taking the time to review and consider this effort.
