Medical Access Stays Protected. BUT RECREATIONAL? LET'S KEEP OUR ‘OHANA SAFE FIRST!

 

Before we rush into recreational marijuana, let's stop and think about this. Hawaiʻi already faces crime, a strained economy, and systems stretched way too thin. Additional burdens of more enforcement, more regulation, more social fallout is not progress.

 

Chasing a tax dollar today will NOT cover the true costs tomorrow.

 

The research is clear: legalization comes with higher health costs, more public safety risks, and deeper impacts on families and communities. Much of the damage is hidden, unforeseen, and at the very worst...IRREVERSIBLE. 

 

We are not locals who oppose freedom. We are doing our homework because we are PRO-HEALTH, PRO-SAFEY, AND MOST OF ALL PRO-‘OHANA. We are searching for neutral data sources, and sharing what we find with all of you so we can all make more thoughtful and informed decisions that protect everything we hold dear. ​

Watch this short video to hear directly from Doctors, Law Enforcement, Former Drug Users, Child Psychologist, and more IN our community who are pleading with lawmakers not to legalize RECREATIONAL marijuana.

About the SAM Report:

​The SAM Report is a non-profit publication that compiles official government and academic data to show the real outcomes of marijuana legalization in the United States and abroad. It provides lawmakers and the public with a clear snapshot of the impacts on health, safety, youth, schools, the environment, and crime. Unlike advocacy groups, the SAM Report relies on neutral sources such as the CDC, NIDA, and state agencies. It is used nationwide to help communities and legislators understand the true costs of marijuana legalization.
