Travel Restrictions

​

Hawaii Revised Statutes specifically state that any transportation of medical cannabis on island must be in a sealed container that is not visible to the public.

 

“Inter island transportation by any means or for any purpose between a qualified patient or primary caregiver and any other entity or individual, including an individual who is a qualified patient or primary caregiver” is prohibited with the exception of the following:

 

The transportation of up to one gram of medical cannabis between patient or caregiver and a certified laboratory is allowed for testing purposes IF the patient or caregiver has a) secured an appointment for the testing, b) obtained confirmation of the appointment that includes the specific date and time for the appointment, and c) has the confirmation for the secured, confirmed appointment available during transport.

 

The Department of Homeland Security has stated the Transportation Security Administration's (TSA) position on cannabis to be the following:

 

Possession of cannabis and cannabis infused products is illegal under federal law.  TSA officers are required to report any suspected violations of law, including possession of cannabis and cannabis infused products. TSA’s screening procedures are focused on security and are designed to detect potential threats to aviation and passengers.  Accordingly, TSA security officers do not search for cannabis or other illegal drugs, but in the event a substance that appears to be cannabis or a cannabis infused product is observed during security screening, TSA will refer the matter to a law enforcement officer.
