The process is simple:
Step 1: Schedule your medical cannabis evaluation.
Step 2: Meet with your provider.
Step 3: If appropriate, receive your certification.
Step 4: Complete your Hawaii Department of Health registration.
Step 5: Receive your Hawaii 329 Card.
Step 6: Purchase medical cannabis from licensed Hawaii dispensaries.
Patients with valid out-of-state medical cannabis registrations may apply for a temporary Hawaii registration before arriving, allowing them to purchase medical cannabis from licensed Hawaii dispensaries during their stay.
Hawaii recently expanded access to medical cannabis through HB 302, giving licensed physicians and APRNs greater flexibility when determining whether a patient may benefit from medical cannabis. Rather than being limited to a fixed list of qualifying diagnoses, healthcare providers may now certify patients for other medical conditions when, in their professional medical judgment, the potential benefits outweigh the risks.
This means patients with many chronic or debilitating medical conditions may now be eligible even if their diagnosis was not previously included on Hawaii's original qualifying condition list.
Examples may include:
Yes. Your privacy is important to us. Your medical evaluation and health information are protected by the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) and applicable Hawaii privacy laws. We maintain strict confidentiality and only share your information as permitted or required by law.
Possibly. Some states offer medical cannabis reciprocity and recognize valid out-of-state medical cannabis cards.
Most medical cannabis evaluations take approximately 20–30 minutes. During your appointment, we'll review your medical history, current symptoms, previous treatments, medications, and discuss whether medical cannabis may be an appropriate treatment option for your individual needs.
After your medical certification is completed and your application is submitted to the Hawaii Department of Health many applications are processed within several business days, but timing depends on the Department of Health's current workload. Once your registration is approved, you'll be able to purchase medical cannabis from licensed Hawaii dispensaries.
Your Hawaii 329 Card must be renewed before it expires to maintain uninterrupted access to licensed medical cannabis dispensaries. Renewal requires a new medical evaluation to confirm that medical cannabis continues to be an appropriate treatment option. We make the renewal process simple and can assist you with both your evaluation and state registration.
