Lawmakers are considering a bill to allow medical marijuana business owners to grow plants in greenhouses, shade houses or outdoors in open air. Hawaii has some of the highest electricity costs in the nation, and potential business owners say they could save thousands of dollars in electricity costs growing marijuana with sunlight.
Right now, Hawaii Department of Health rules ban growing marijuana in greenhouses or outdoors.
Some lawmakers and advocates say some Hawaii residents may have been deterred from applying because it would have been so expensive to grow indoors. They question whether the health department should reopen the dispensary application process entirely if rules are changed.
