Medical marijuana dispensaries can start selling pre-rolled cannabis flower products on Friday.
On March 27, Gov. Josh Green approved amendments to Hawaiʻi Administrative Rules, Chapter 11-850 (Interim Rules) which adds pre-rolls as a manufactured cannabis product allowed to be produced and dispensed through licensed medical cannabis dispensaries in the state.
This announcement comes after the State House Finance Committee decided it would not deliberate on a measure that would legalize marijuana use for adults in the islands, essentially killing the bill this legislative session.
“The path to legalizing adult-use cannabis has been a deeply divisive issue. This year marked its furthest progression, with [Senate Bill 3335] narrowly passing its second reading,” said Rep. Kyle Yamashita, who represents Upcountry Maui and is chairman of the House finance committee. “Due to numerous concerns regarding the implementation of the bill, the House has decided against further deliberation in the House Finance Committee. This decision is strengthened by the prevailing no votes from committee members expressed on the House floor.”
