Does Hawaii accept out-of-state medical cards?
Yes, through registration. Visiting patients with a valid home-state card can apply online for a Hawaii out-of-state card ($49.50), valid up to 60 days or until the home card expires, up to twice per calendar year.
Traveling from Hawaii
Your Hawaii card is issued under Hawaii law, so other states decide for themselves whether to honor it. Never carry cannabis across state lines — that's a federal offense, including on flights.
