The Hawaiian Senate Judiciary Committee unanimously recommended a bill decriminalizing marijuana on Thursday, clearing its first hurdle to becoming law.

The bill would declare, “that the legalization of marijuana for personal or recreational use is a natural, logical, and reasonable outgrowth of the current science of marijuana and [societal] attitude toward marijuana.” If passed, it would permit adults 21 and older to possess, cultivate and consume marijuana. Further, it would establish a licensing scheme for the cultivation, sale and use of small amounts, as well as implement excise and income taxes regarding sales.
