Flora shipping policy
Flora Distro does not currently ship to Hawaii. We apologize for the inconvenience. This company policy is separate from the legal posture summarized below.
Current state posture
Act 62 (2024)+DOH interim rules ban synthetic cannabinoids (most d8/10,HHC); intoxicating products = marijuana, dispensary-only. Compliant hemp ~1mg/serv, retailer registration live since 1/26. Smokable/THCA effectively not permitted.
Recent movement
DOH updated retailer/distributor registration guidance (6/2/26); no new statute. SB1655 pending, no enacted change.
Litigation and court posture
None confirmed (no injunction/challenge to Act 62).

Next date to watch
Federal 0.4mg cap tightens below HI's 1mg/serv. Ongoing DOH interim-rule enforcement; next hard cap rides federal.
Federal change scheduled for November 12, 2026
State rules are only one layer. Unless Congress changes the enacted provision, Section 781 changes the federal hemp definition to total THC—Delta-9 THC plus 0.877 times THCA—and adds a 0.4 milligram total-THC-per-container cap beginning November 12, 2026. That federal change is separate from the Hawaii posture above.
