David Ige will not sign into law House Bill 321, the medical marijuana dispensary bill. It will be a disaster for Hawaii. This bill isn't simply about providing medical marijuana safely to those needing the drug. It lays a foundation for establishing multimillion-dollar marijuana businesses. I believe there is a movement by proponents of this bill to legalize marijuana usage, which federal law prohibits. As a retired police officer, I know the laws would be unenforceable. If signed into law, it will be devastating to our Hawaiian culture, our children and grandchildren. Let's protect Hawaii's future generations, not leave a legacy of shame.
