Urging The Hawaii Congressional Delegation And State Officials To Support The Marijuana In Federally Assisted Housing Parity Act Of 2021 And Requesting Assistance From The Drug Enforcement Administration To Resolve The Conflict Between The Federal Regulation Of Marijuana And State-authorized Use Of Cannabis In Hawaii.
Impact
The resolution draws attention to the challenges faced by medical cannabis patients in Hawaii due to the disparity between state-authorized cannabis uses and federal regulations. It emphasizes the critical need for legislative support to change current federal housing policies, which can lead to evictions of individuals using cannabis legally under state law. This contrasts with the provisions in H.R. No. 3212, which would permit cannabis use in alignment with state laws.
Summary
Senate Resolution 46 urges the Hawaii Congressional Delegation and state officials to support the Marijuana in Federally Assisted Housing Parity Act of 2021. It highlights the ongoing conflict between federal and state regulations concerning cannabis, which has resulted in negative consequences for registered medical cannabis patients in Hawaii, including potential eviction from federally subsidized housing. The resolution responds to this issue by requesting specific action from state legislators and federal representatives to align state cannabis laws with federally assisted housing regulations.
Contention
There appears to be significant contention regarding the lack of response from the Department of Health following previous resolutions aimed at addressing this conflict. Additionally, the resolution calls on the Drug Enforcement Administration to assist in rectifying the existing regulatory conflicts, which suggests that there are challenges in enforcing state cannabis laws in federally governed contexts. The passage of H.R. No. 3212 is seen as essential to protect the housing rights of medical cannabis users and resolve these conflicts effectively.
