Hawaii Ranks 3rd on List of Top Medical Marijuana States

Hawaii makes it easy to get a medical marijuana card, Culture Cheat Sheet reports. The cost of medicine is also quite low. There are few restrictions on choice of consumption method. These are just some of the factors that contributed to their B+ grade.
