STARADVERTISER LETTER TO EDITOR TODAY 12/26/2014 MAKE IT EASIER FOR POT PATIENTS Hawaii medical cannabis patients are at the end of their rope. For 14 years, they have not been able to access safe, efficacious medicine due to a hastily crafted state law that forces them to buy on the illegal market. Even more egregious, if a state dispensary bill is passed in 2015, it would be two to three years before administrative rules are adopted, exacerbating the stress and pain. Patients cannot wait more years. Lawmakers have already demonstrated their lack of compassion and caring for the sick and dying. The solution to this problem is a presidential executive order to correctly reschedule cannabis as a Schedule 2 drug. That would effectively allow doctors to prescribe cannabis and pharmacies to dispense the drug throughout the U.S. This is the patients very pressing need and hope for the coming new year. Andrea Tischler Chairwoman, Americans for Safe Access, Big Island chapter, Hilo
