You can still have a caregiver that can purchase medicine on your behalf.

All use of medical cannabis must be on private proper. Do not use cannabis in your car while on the road, at work, at school or on school grounds, at the beach, at a park, on hiking trails, on a bus, or in any other public space. It is illegal to use or possess cannabis on any federally owned property such as military installations and national parks.

Although medical cannabis is legal in HI, driving under the influence of cannabis is illegal and can be dangerous.

When transporting medical cannabis away from home, ensure it is stored in a sealed container and kept out of public view. It is important to note that flying, including inter-island travel, with any cannabis remains illegal under federal regulations. Even with a medical certification, patients are not protected when transporting medical cannabis inter-island, between states, or internationally.
