A BILL FOR AN ACT
relating to MEDICAL CANNABIS PRODUCTS.
BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF HAWAII:
SECTION 1. The legislature finds that, for twenty years, medical cannabis patients have been allowed to self-cultivate cannabis. However, there has been no legal way to acquire cannabis seeds or clones. Allowing medical cannabis patients to grow their own cannabis from seeds or clones will enable these patients to obtain strains with medicinal properties while minimizing the risk of unwanted pests and pathogens from being introduced into a homegrown environment.
The purpose of this Act is to authorize the manufacture and distribution of cannabis seeds and cannabis clones by medical cannabis dispensary licensees.
SECTION 2. Section 329D-1, Hawaii Revised Statutes, is amended by amending the definition of "manufactured cannabis product" to read as follows:
""Manufactured
cannabis product" means any capsule, lozenge, oil or oil extract, tincture,
ointment or skin lotion, pill, transdermal patch, or pre-filled and sealed
container used to aerosolize and deliver cannabis orally, such as an inhaler or
nebulizer, that has been manufactured using cannabis, or any other products as
specified by the department pursuant to section [329D-10(a)(11).] 329D-10(a)."
SECTION 3. Section 329D-10, Hawaii Revised Statutes, is amended to read as follows:

(B) The device is distributed solely for use with single-use, pre-filled, tamper-resistant, sealed containers that do not contain nicotine or other tobacco products;
(C) The device is used to aerosolize and deliver cannabis by inhalation, such as an inhaler, medical-grade nebulizer, or other similar medical grade volitization device;
(D) There is a temperature control on the device that is regulated to prevent the combustion of cannabis oil; and

(b) Any medical cannabis product
manufactured pursuant to this chapter shall be regulated and approved by the
department and meet all requirements of rules adopted pursuant to this chapter;
provided that the department shall establish requirements for child-resistant
packaging and accurate and proper labeling.

genetically identical to the plant from which it was taken and can be replanted
or developed to produce a mature cannabis plant.
