In the tropical paradise of Hawaii, the legal waters surrounding Delta-8 THC can be as murky as an oceanic trench. According to state law, Delta-8 THC is listed as a Schedule I controlled substance.
However, if derived from hemp and contains less than 0.3% Delta-9 THC—as stated in federal law—products are not classified as controlled substances. It's important to note that this exemption only specifically mentions Delta-9 THC and does not clearly cover other cannabinoids like Delta-8 THC.
In 2020, Hawaii’s governor – David Ige – signed House Bill 2689 into law which reinforced the Farm Bill at the state level. It creates a legal differentiation between hemp and marijuana, allows for the legal cultivation of hemp, and set the Department of Agriculture in charge of regulating and licensing this industry. It also recognizes as legal THC containing products which meet the Farm Bill guidelines.
As always, it's crucial to note that this summary serves as a simplified interpretation of complex laws and should not be used as legal advice. Consultation with an attorney or other knowledgeable local source is recommended for specific inquiries or concerns about local laws.*
