Hawaiian medicinal marijuana patients have something to look forward to when the new year starts.

The state’s Democratic Governor David Ige has legalized sales of edible products by licensed medical cannabis dispensaries.

According to legislation that was recently signed into law by the politician, patients who are enrolled in Hawaii’s medicinal cannabis access program will now be able to buy cannabis-infused edible products from licensed dispensaries for the first time.

The name of the legislation is House Bill 2097 and it allows licensed dispensaries “to manufacture and distribute edible cannabis products.”

The state’s medical cannabis law has been enacted for two decades but had previously not allowed for dispensaries to engage in the sale of cannabis-infused edible products.

Hawaii’s Department of Health will oversee the establishment of rules governing the production, labeling, and packaging of edible cannabis products.

The new law also allows dispensaries to “provide, disseminate, and publish educational and scientific materials related to medical cannabis and its approved products and sponsor events about medical cannabis” for the first time.

The new law will take effect in the state on January 1, 2021.
