History is in the making at Aloha Green Apothecary! Governor Green recently approved amendments to Hawaiʻi Administrative Rules (HAR), Chapter 11-850, permitting Medical Cannabis Dispensaries to include pre-rolled cannabis flower products on their menu. For those of us who have been part of Aloha Green since 2017, this approval represents years of perseverance and dedication.
You might wonder, why did it take so long? Well, every manufactured product must be approved by the Hawaii State Department of Health (DOH) before it can be offered. So, in short, we were patiently waiting for this green light! Now that pre-rolls are allowed, let’s dive into what Aloha Green Apothecary’s “High Tides” Pre-Rolls have to offer.
What are High Tides Pre-Rolls?
AGA’s High Tides Pre-Rolls consist of our greenhouse flower finely grounded and packed into unbleached paper cones. Our initial launch contain 6 pre-rolls – 0.5g each, ready for immediate use. They’re as straightforward as can be: light them up and smoke away! However, it’s important to note that smoking cannabis can be harmful, and we encourage exploring safer alternatives such as vaporizing or consuming edibles.
About Our Flower
For our inaugural pre-roll collection, we’ve selected greenhouse flower, no shake or trim added. This is the same flower that’s been on our flower menu, just now available in pre-roll form. But what exactly is greenhouse flower? It’s cannabis grown under the Hawaiian sun, as close to nature as possible without being fully outdoors. Due to the need for medical strains to be protected from potentially harmful outdoor elements, they’re typically cultivated in greenhouses or nurseries. Our first set of pre-rolls features familiar strains from our lineup: Skywalker Kush & Yeti.

The price of our pre-rolls are $35 for 6- 0.5g joints making it about $5.83 per joint. For our introductory price we are offering pre-rolls (from 4/18 – 4/25, while supplies last) $30 for 6- 0.5g packs, making it $5 a pre-roll!
A Growing Industry
We’re thrilled to introduce this new product and witness the continued growth of our industry, one step at a time.
