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 Business Licenses 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

On June 9 2019, Hawaii decriminalized marijuana with the passing of HB 1383. The new law removes the possibility of jail time as a penalty for up to three grams of marijuana, but maintains a $130 fine. Hawaii’s legislature approved the bill and sent it to Democratic Gov. David Ige in May. Ige didn’t sign it, but he also didn’t veto it, effectively letting it become law. The new law will take effect on January 11, 2020. The new law also establishes 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.
