Summary
The Senate concurrent resolution urges the governor to apply to the federal Drug Enforcement Administration for a controlled‑substance exemption for patients enrolled in Hawaii’s medical cannabis program and for registration waivers that would let state‑licensed dispensaries produce and distribute cannabis intrastate.
