Bill Summary
Allows the use of medical cannabis to treat opioid use, substance use, and withdrawal symptoms resulting from the treatment of those conditions. (CD1)
AI Summary
This bill amends the definition of "debilitating medical condition" in Hawaii's medical cannabis law to include opioid use, substance use, and withdrawal symptoms resulting from the treatment of those conditions. This means that medical cannabis can now be used to treat these conditions, in addition to the existing conditions like cancer, epilepsy, and post-traumatic stress disorder. The bill also includes standard language about the effective date and statutory changes.
