Hawaii
On November 4, 2008 Hawai’i County voters passed Ballot Question 1, the Lowest Law Enforcement Priority of Cannabis Ordinance, by 53.1% to 38.6% (with 8.3% blank votes). The law is now known as Chapter 14 Article 16 of the Hawai’i County Code and makes cannabis the lowest priority for Hawai’i County Police and Prosecutors. Under this ordinance, adults over the age of 21 may cultivate and possess up to 24 plants or 24 ounces of dried material on private property. The law makes it illegal for Hawai’i County to accept any funds for marijuana eradication programs. It also prohibits County Law Enforcement officials from being deputized or commissioned by Federal agencies for any activity that is inconsistent with the ordinance.
