Every state has different marijuana laws- they are regulated by state, not federal law. Some states allow marijuana for recreational and medical use, some states only allow medical use, and some only allow certain low THC products for medical use. Most states limit the number of licenses they will grant and the window to apply for them. Getting licenced is never simple- there are very specific requirements and guidelines that differ by state and its usually highly competitive, which is why most successful applicants work with consultants like Dispensary Permits to help guide them. We highly advise you read the guidelines below thoroughly and then consider working with a consultant or using our templates and guides.

The History of Hawaii Marijuana

Medical Marijuana:
House Bill 321, a bill that establishes a licensing system for medical marijuana dispensaries, passed on July 14th, 2015 – 10 years after the state legalized medical marijuana in 2000. The new law allows for 8 dispensary licenses, of which each licensee will be allowed up to 2 production and 2 retail dispensing locations, bringing that to a total of 32 medical marijuana locations in the entire state. The state awarded 8 licenses in April of 2016.

Qualifying Medical Conditions: Cachexia, Cancer, Chronic pain, Crohn’s disease, Epilepsy and other disorders characterized by seizures, Glaucoma, HIV or AIDS, Multiple sclerosis and other disorders characterized by muscle spasticity, Nausea Update: On January 19, 2018, Senate Bill 2683 was introduced, which would legalize recreational use, possession, and sale of marijuana. It would also set up a system to regulate and tax marijuana and require licensing to operate marijuana establishments. You can read the bill and watch it’s progress here.

In March 2018, HB 1383 to decriminalize marijuana in Hawaii passed the House and was transmitted to the Senate for review. The bill would reduce criminal penalties for marijuana-related offenses, provide for the expungement of criminal records for those convicted of a marijuana offense prior to the bill’s implementation, and establish a working group within the state attorney general office to study the impact of legalization in other states and issue a report on their findings and recommendations before the 2021 legislative session.
