Restricted. Hemp-derived delta-9 edibles and tinctures can be sold at Hawaii retail, but only inside narrow per-serving and per-container caps set by the Department of Health interim rules at HAR Chapter 11-37, effective January 28, 2026. Gummies and similar solid edibles are capped at 1 mg total THC per serving and 5 mg per container. Oil-based tinctures are capped at 3 mg per serving and 85 mg per container. Beverages are capped at 0.5 mg per container. Inhalable hemp products are prohibited outright under HRS Section 328G-3. Most hemp-derived delta-9 SKUs sold in other states exceed these caps and cannot lawfully ship into Hawaii.
