Navigating the tumultuous waters of cannabis banking is no less tricky than sailing Hawaii’s Pacific Ocean. For cannabis-related businesses (CRBs), accessing basic financial services, like checking accounts or capital investment, is impossible through major financial institutions due to federal prohibition. Regardless of state legality, CRBs nationwide struggle to function and succeed.

Safe Harbor Financial was founded to bridge this divide, saving CRBs from the clutches of underbanking. We’re a dedicated cannabis bank renowned for high-level regulatory support and impressive financial services.

Marijuana banking in Hawaii — Current rules and regulations

Recreational cannabis remains illegal in Hawaii. Decriminalization allows possession of up to three grams but not the sale of recreational cannabis. In 2000, Hawaii became the 8th state to legalize medical cannabis; however, it did not establish any legal market.

It wasn’t until 2015 that the Medical Cannabis Dispensary Program was created. Dispensaries, approved by Hawaiian authorities, began selling cannabis from 2017 onwards. Legalization attempts of recreational cannabis continue, though a 2019 bill died in the House of Representatives.

Nevertheless, THC-containing products, such as gummies and even brownies, are available. Hemp, meanwhile, has a complicated legal status even for hemp banking in Hawaii. The federal 2018 Farm Bill allowed the production of hemp nationwide.

Hawaii had earlier launched a pilot program to oversee the cultivation of industrial hemp for research purposes, later removing criminal and civil sanctions for the “planting, growing, harvesting, possessing, processing, selling, or buying” of industrial hemp.

What’s needed is a cannabis bank experienced in both a fledgling cannabis industry and industrial hemp production. Safe Harbor Financial has supported businesses in these circumstances nationwide.
