Hawaii: Natural Medicine Off the Mainland
Hawaii marijuana laws are not as relaxed as those in the other state off the mainland, Alaska. Only medical marijuana in Hawaii is legal as of yet, but the offenses for possession aren’t as bad as states like Florida. It’s still a misdemeanor, but the minimum jail time equivalent on that offense is only 30 days. Hawaii now has dispensaries all over, which means the medical market is fully up and running. Is marijuana legal in Hawaii? Medically, yes, but there’s room to grow.
Current Legal Status in Hawaii
- Medical Marijuana in Hawaii: Legal as of 2000; dispensaries as of 2015
