Hawaii has allowed visitors to buy medical cannabis since March 5 if they comply with state regulations — including having their paperwork in order. That appears to be a stumbling block for many Californians, according to the Hawaii Department of Health.
Medical marijuana is legal in Hawaii, but Californians coming to the islands who have a California card for cannabis must apply and be approved before they can obtain marijuana from dispensaries such as Noa Botanicals in Kaneohe on windward Oahu.
But more than three-quarters of California applicants have not received their temporary medical cannabis cards from the Hawaii Department of Health. Of the 252 applications received by July 1, 45 were rejected and 149 others are pending. Whitney urges visitors to comply with Hawaii law so “they can be symptom-free or pain-free while they’re on vacation.”
says. “However, a visiting patient is not authorized to obtain marijuana from a dispensary because the dispensary is required in statute to access a verification system before dispensing marijuana.” Arizona’s verification system does not include patients in other states.“Are they telling you that you should travel across state lines with medical cannabis, which I assume they know is a federally illegal movement?” he asked.
