How do I apply for a new Hawaii 329 card?

New patients apply through the Hawaii 329 Registry. You will create or sign in to a myHawaii account, register as a patient, select New Patient Registration, enter your provider-issued e-certification number, complete the application, upload a valid photo ID, and submit the application and State fee.

What is an e-cert number for the Hawaii 329 Registry?

An e-cert number is the electronic certification number issued by your certifying medical provider. New patients enter this number during the Hawaii 329 application and select Verify Certification Number to connect the provider certification to the State application.

Which application should a first-time Hawaii 329 patient choose?

First-time applicants should choose Apply, Update, or Renew, then Patient, then New Patient Registration, and Create Application. New patients should not select Patient Renewal.

What ID do I need for a new Hawaii 329 application?

New applicants must upload a valid government-issued photo ID. The State's new patient instructions list a driver license, State ID, or passport book. The information entered in the application should match the patient's identification.

What is a primary caregiver, and how many patients can one caregiver help?

A primary caregiver is an adult who agrees to help manage a qualifying patient’s medical cannabis use. Under the updated Hawaii law, a registered primary caregiver may now be registered with up to five qualifying patients at one time. Caregivers must be registered with the Hawaii Department of Health.

A grow site is the address registered with the Hawaii 329 program where a qualifying patient or designated primary caregiver is authorized to grow medical cannabis. The grow site can be the patient’s residence, the caregiver’s residence, or another location owned or controlled by the patient or caregiver

Do I have to register a grow site?

No. If you do not plan to grow medical cannabis, you can choose No Grow Site on your application. A grow site only needs to be registered if the patient or authorized caregiver will be cultivating plants.

How many plants can I grow with a Hawaii 329 card?

The maximum allowed is 10 cannabis plants total, whether the plants are mature or immature. This limit applies to the combined amount allowed for the qualifying patient and caregiver.

How much medical cannabis can I possess?

A qualifying patient may possess up to 4 ounces of usable cannabis at any given time. If the patient has a caregiver, that limit is shared between the patient and caregiver rather than being 4 ounces each.

Who is allowed to take care of the plants at a registered grow site?

Only the registered patient and the patient’s authorized primary caregiver may handle or care for the patient’s medical cannabis plants. Each plant must also have the required identification tag showing the patient’s 329 registration information

Can my grow site be somewhere other than my home?

Yes. Hawaii allows the registered grow site to be the patient’s residence, the designated caregiver’s residence, or another location that is owned or controlled by the patient or caregiver. The location must be properly registered as the grow site.

Can a caregiver grow for multiple patients, and how many patients can use one grow site?

Yes. A registered primary caregiver may cultivate medical cannabis for qualifying patients they are registered to assist. However, one cultivation location may be used for no more than five qualifying patients. The total amount grown for each patient is still subject to Hawaii’s patient-specific possession and plant limits.
