Hope this turns out better than the Hawaii Health Connector.

The Hawaii Department of Health on Monday announced that the state’s medical marijuana dispensary license application is now available online.

The process allows applicants to save entries and resume their application at any time, and submit later.

“However, applicants must save their application every time they access it even if there are no revisions or new entries,” the DOH advises.

The online applications will be accepted until Jan. 29 at 4:30 p.m. HST. An email confirmation with the application number will be sent.

“Applicants should be careful to follow the online application instructions completely,” Keith Ridley, the DOH chief of the Office of Health Care Assurance, said in a press release.

The dispensary law allows DOH to award eight licenses: three for the City & County of Honolulu, two each for the County of Hawaii and the County of Maui, and one license for the County of Kauai. 

Of note: There is a $5,000 application fee. To read more about the med pot program, click here.
