BioTrack in Hawaii 101

BioTrack has been the official statewide track-and-trace system for Hawaii's medical cannabis program since 2017. The Office of Medical Cannabis Control and Regulation, a division within the State of Hawaii's Department of Health, oversees the state's medical cannabis program. Its primary focus is to make medical cannabis accessible to Hawaii's patients and to ensure both patient and public safety.

In 2000, Hawaii became the eighth state to legalize medical cannabis and the first through legislative action, when Governor Ben Cayetano signed Act 228. This law permitted medical marijuana cardholders to grow their own cannabis or designate a caretaker for this task, yet it did not create a legal market or dispensaries.

In 2015, Act 241 was passed, mandating the Department of Health to oversee the Medical Marijuana Dispensary Program by 2016, and permitting dispensaries to sell medical and manufactured marijuana products as early as July 2016, given the Department's approval. In 2016, Senate Bill 321 established a dispensary system with eight dispensaries across the state, distinguished by island, leading to Maui's first legal medical cannabis dispensary sale in August 2017.

Approved Hawaii medicinal cannabis license holders must implement and stay compliant with BioTrack.
