Honolulu, HI: Lawmakers voted 38 to 9 on Wednesday to override Republican Gov. Linda Lingle’s veto of Senate Bill 1058, which establishes a study committee to examine options for providing state-authorized patients with access to medical cannabis.
Over 3,000 Hawaiians legally possess and cultivate cannabis under the authority of the state’s nearly ten-year-old medical marijuana law.
