Rep. Har is notably a staunch Democratic opponent of even modest #cannabis reform.

Per @CDCgov, alcohol use results in 95,000 deaths and $249 billion in costs each year. #Hawaii #HInews

24 States allow delivery services for medical cannabis patients. Hawaii could too. Please sign the petition https://t.co/VzBI3DmMxf?

[Drug Policy Forum of Hawai`i @DPFHawaii]

Delivery services and allowing access for "any debilitating condition" are great ideas for #Hawaii on the medical #cannabis front. #Hileg

[Nikos Leverenz 🇺🇲 @nikosleverenz]

This is an important moment for drug policy reform in #Hawaii as this bill reduces the penalty for possession of under 2g of non-#cannabis drugs from a felony to misdemeanor. I'm quoted. Residue can still get an arrest, charge, and conviction though. #cjreform #HInews #hileg

Hawaii --Governor Ige VETOED bills that would make progress on cannabis, civil asset forfeiture, compassionate release. Did allow for decrim for 3 grams of cannabis (not much) https://t.co/DZ1hEi8nLB

[FreshApproach Hawaii @FreshApproachHI]

Why is it still OK for law enforcement to seize your property and cash (freeze bank accounts)?? Because the Civil Asset Forfeiture bill was Vetoed by Gov. Ige. Makes no sense.

[Drug Policy Forum of Hawai`i @DPFHawaii]

Hopefully there will be a bill for @GovHawaii to work on in 2020! "[If] Ige himself had a problem with the bill, he could have gotten involved more directly..." | Ige’s Veto Of Civil Asset Forfeiture Bill Makes No Sense https://t.co/iPz8e1JTM0 via @CivilBeat #civilrights #Hawaii

[FreshApproach Hawaii @FreshApproachHI]

Hawaii is the 26th state to pass decriminalization laws for cannabis. Includes expungement of past records and a task force to review drug laws.

[FreshApproach Hawaii @FreshApproachHI]

Drug Policy Forum of Hawaii and ACLU HI reached out to Governor Ige about the civil asset forfeiture REFORM bill--a bill he said he intends to veto because he doesn't see any problems with existing law.

[ACLU of Hawai'i @acluhawaii]

The ACLUHI reached out to your office, @GovHawaii, twice to request a meeting regarding the asset forfeiture bill. We would greatly appreciate the opportunity to meet with you and @DPFHawaii to discuss this important civil rights measure before you make your final decision.

[FreshApproach Hawaii @FreshApproachHI]

Governor Ige will announce which bills he will veto--next week. Please let him know that you support reform of our Civil Asset Forfeiture laws.

[Drug Policy Forum of Hawai`i @DPFHawaii]

Final Call!!! Let Governor Ige Know that Hawai'i Supports Medical Cannabis, Civil Asset Forfeiture Reform and Cannabis Decriminalization!!! - https://t.co/OVFcfl7aLQ

[FreshApproach Hawaii @FreshApproachHI]

Learn about Civil Asset Forfeiture (seizure) from John Oliver. Then ask if you support reform. https://t.co/Yzn0InQK6a

[FreshApproach Hawaii @FreshApproachHI]

Please take time to let Governor Ige know that you support these important bills. Civil Asset seizure is not Pono. Cannabis use needs decriminalization--records need to be expunged.
