What the record says
Hawaii’s Department of Health interim rule at HAR Chapter 11–37, effective January 28, 2026 and amended April 2026, bans vape products and hemp leaf and floral material outright, while permitting oral forms within total THC caps subject to processor permits, retailer registration, testing and 21-and-over sale. Beverages are capped at 0.5 milligrams of total THC per 6 to 12 fluid ounce container. Retail sale of hemp-derived Delta-9 THC beverages in Hawaii is restricted to that registered channel, and the 0.5 milligram cap is effectively prohibitive for an intoxicating dose; these are interim rules pending permanent rulemaking.
