Seeking to get more people to get the coronavirus shots, officials announced this week that the state's nearly 500 licensed marijuana retailers could begin hosting vaccine clinics and offering a single, free pre-rolled marijuana cigarette to those who get a shot.
But cannabis
ยิงปลาออนไลน์ retailers say many of them don't have the space to host clinics. And some health care providers are uneasy about setting up a clinic on the site of a marijuana business.
The pot retailers also complain that they have to have an onsite clinic while the state allows breweries and wineries to give away drinks to customers who merely show proof of vaccination — no onsite clinic required.
HERE'S WHAT ELSE IS HAPPENING:
HONOLULU — A class-action lawsuit has been filed on behalf of inmates in Hawaii, arguing that the state has failed to protect people from coronavirus outbreaks in unsanitary jails and prisons.
The lawsuit says that nearly half of the prisoners held by Hawaii have contracted the virus and that five out of nine facilities have experienced “uncontrolled outbreaks” of coronavirus cases.
The lawsuit describes poor conditions such as cells not being sanitized or cleaned when virus-positive inmates move out and a new prisoner moves in.
A spokeswoman for the state Department of Public Safety says the agency has been advised not to comment on possible pending legal matters.
