From a press release:

Newly launched Hawaii SAM Project (Smart Approaches to Marijuana) takes a bipartisan stance on issues surrounding marijuana. SAM analyzes marijuana issues based on reputable science and sound principles of health and safety.  

Current marijuana decriminalization legislation speeding through the legislature is de facto legalization and fails to take a public health perspective. … This bill makes marijuana even more accessible and adds to the problem when 1 in 6 youth abuse or become addicted and over 53% of treatment referrals involve marijuana. …

Wear NAVY BLUE shirts in honor of law enforcement! 4 p.m., Hawaii State Capitol Rotunda. …

Meanwhile … Spokespersons from the pro-decriminalization coalition Fresh Approach Hawaii (www.freshapproachhawaii,org) including the ACLU of Hawaii and the Drug Policy Action Group, will be available for offer rebuttal.
