Green Aloha Ltd.’s application to open a second retail facility in Kauai has been approved by the Hawaii State Department of Health.
Green Aloha’s new retail store, located at 2827 Poipu Road, Koloa, began sales on Sept. 17. “Green Aloha’s new dispensary will provide much-needed access to patients on the southside of Kauai,” Liam Gimon, Medical Cannabis License Program Section supervisor said in a release from Gov. David Ige’s office.
A total of 34,093 in-state patients and 2,811 caregivers were registered statewide as of Aug. 31. According to the release, registered patients and their caregivers may purchase up to four ounces of medical cannabis during a 15-consecutive day period and a maximum of eight ounces over a 30- consecutive day period.
“The primary reported condition for registered adult patients is severe pain and the primary reported conditions for children under 18 years of age are seizures and severe pain,” Tami Whitney, Medical Cannabis Registry Program supervisor said in the release.
The consumption of medical cannabis must be on private property and may not be used in moving vehicles or any public space. It is also illegal to use or possess medical cannabis on any federally owned property such as military installations and national parks.
