Hawaii HB1110 clarifies and maintains access to medical cannabis for qualifying patients.

Hawaii HB1110 amends existing law to ensure that qualifying patients can continue to obtain medical cannabis from multiple sources. The bill allows qualifying patients to purchase cannabis from licensed dispensaries, cultivate their own supply, or have a primary caregiver grow cannabis for them. The intent is to expand access to medical cannabis rather than replace existing access routes, as evidenced by a 2022 survey showing that 55% of patients obtained their cannabis from dispensaries. The changes take effect retroactively to January 1, 2025.
