Medical Marijuana Doctors in Hawaii

Hawaii Medical Marijuana Laws

Licensed Hawaii medical marijuana doctors may write recommendations for severely ill people who will then be able to cultivate and consume medical marijuana for therapeutic purposes. The Hawaii Department of Health governs a registry for medical marijuana patients who must apply for an ID card. Designated caregivers and registered MMJ patients may cultivate up to seven cannabis plants — no maturity limit — or purchase medical marijuana from a dispensary licensed by Hawaii’s DOH.

After certifying a patient is suffering from a qualifying condition, the doctor can write a recommendation so the patient can obtain their registration card needed to cultivate or purchase medical marijuana in Hawaii.

Requirements to Receive a Medical Marijuana Card in Hawaii

Hawaii’s medical marijuana program differs slightly from other state programs because it allows Advanced Practice Registered Nurses (APRNs) to write recommendations for potential medical cannabis patients. APRNs must use the same processes as Hawaii marijuana doctors to certify patients as eligible for MMJ.

In addition, APRNs must be able to show they have a valid Registered Nurse license number, and both APRNs and doctors must be registered with Hawaii’s Department of Public Safety to legally recommend controlled substances.

To qualify for a medical marijuana ID card in Hawaii, you must be diagnosed with one or more of the following diseases or disorders:

• Cancer
• Glaucoma
• Multiple Sclerosis
• Lupus
• Post-traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)
• Rheumatoid Arthritis
• HIV/AIDS
• Severe or chronic pain
• Severe nausea
• Seizures/Epilepsy
• Persistent and severe muscle spasms indicative of Multiple Sclerosis
• Crohn’s Disease

This is not an all-inclusive list, so Hawaii medical marijuana doctors and APRNs may also provide recommendations for any “debilitating or chronic medical conditions causing chronic nausea, pain, seizures or muscle spasms.”

They have also submitted a valid medical license number and controlled substance registration number.
