Maui holds a special place in Hawaii's medical cannabis history: the first legal dispensary sale in the state took place on Maui in August 2017. Today, the island is served by two licensed dispensaries, each operating multiple retail locations across the Valley Isle.
Both Maui dispensaries are vertically integrated — they cultivate, process, and sell their own products on-island. This means the cannabis you purchase on Maui was grown in Maui's unique microclimate, and each dispensary has developed its own strains and product lines.
Every Maui dispensary requires a valid 329 card or 329V visitor card. No walk-in recreational purchases are allowed. Visitors can apply for a 329V card online at medmj.ehawaii.gov up to 60 days before arrival.
Maui Grown Therapies — Multiple Locations
Maui Grown Therapies was one of the first dispensaries to open in Hawaii and made history with the state's very first legal cannabis sale. They operate multiple retail locations across Maui, serving patients from Kahului to Kihei and beyond.
Note: The Lahaina location was permanently closed following the devastating August 2023 Maui wildfires. Three other locations remain active.
Known for their locally cultivated strains and deep roots in the Maui community, Maui Grown Therapies carries a full range of products including flower, pre-rolls, concentrates, edibles, tinctures, topicals, and vape cartridges.
Pono Life Maui — Multiple Locations
Pono Life Maui operates multiple retail locations on the island, providing patients with another vertically integrated option. Their product line includes flower, pre-rolls, concentrates, edibles, tinctures, topicals, and vape cartridges.
Between the two licensees, Maui patients have reasonable access to dispensaries from most parts of the island, though some driving is required depending on where you are staying or living.
No Dispensaries on Molokai or Lanai
Molokai and Lanai are part of Maui County but have no dispensary locations. Patients on these islands must travel to Maui to make in-person purchases. If you are visiting or living on Molokai or Lanai, plan your dispensary visit for when you are on Maui.
Practical Tips for Maui Patients
- Payment: Cash and debit cards accepted at most locations. Credit cards generally not accepted due to federal banking restrictions. ATMs available on-site.
- Purchase limit: 4 ounces per 15-day period, tracked electronically across all dispensaries statewide.
- Products: Flower, pre-rolls, concentrates, edibles, tinctures, topicals, vape cartridges.
- Tax: Only the standard GET of 4.0% — Maui County does not have the 0.5% county surcharge that Oahu, Big Island, and Kauai charge. This makes Maui dispensary purchases slightly cheaper tax-wise.
- Hours: Hours vary by location. Check each dispensary's website for current hours before visiting.
Haleakalā National Park is federal land where cannabis is illegal regardless of your 329 card status. Do not bring cannabis into the national park, including the summit area and the Kīpahulu coastal district. See our federal land warning.
Getting to Dispensaries on Maui
Maui does not have a robust public transit system, so a rental car or rideshare is the most practical way to reach dispensary locations. Most dispensaries are in the central and south Maui areas near Kahului and Kihei, which are within 20–30 minutes of most resort areas in Wailea, Ka'anapali, and Lahaina. If you are staying on the east side or upcountry, expect a longer drive.
