From a press release Monday (March 18):
Project SAM (Smart Approaches to Marijuana) has come to Hawaii as part of its new national dialogue on policy issues related to marijuana use and legalization. The organization will be holding four community meetings on Oahu, 尝补苍补鈥榠 and the Big Island to discuss marijuana use and the potential impact it has on health.
鈥淭he legalization of marijuana is moving fast in parts of the United States and it looks as though the domino effect could quickly move to other states such as Hawaii,鈥 said former U.S. Congressman Patrick Kennedy, Project SAM chairman. 鈥淲e decided to bring SAM to Hawaii to spur discussions about marijuana use and misuse. 鈥︹
Project SAM proponents believe that marijuana and Hawaii do not mix. A state with the highest per capital military spending in the country cannot afford to encourage more marijuana use. 鈥
