Map of Marijuana Legality

Alabama

In 2021, Alabama enacted the Darren Wesley ‘Ato’ Hall Compassion Act, legalizing medical cannabis for patients with qualifying conditions. However, as of March 2025, the program remains stalled due to ongoing legal disputes over the licensing process. A mediator has been appointed to resolve these issues, but patients are still unable to access medical cannabis legally. Recreational use remains illegal, with possession punishable by up to one year in prison and a fine of up to $6,000.

Alaska

Alaska has a long history with cannabis reform, starting with the legalization of medical marijuana in 1998. In 2014, voters approved Ballot Measure 2, legalizing recreational cannabis use for adults aged 21 and older. The law allows for the possession of up to one ounce of cannabis and cultivation of up to six plants, with no more than three mature at a time. Retail sales began in 2016, regulated by the Alaska Marijuana Control Board. The state emphasizes public safety, responsible consumption, and economic development. Alaska’s unique model supports both urban and rural access to legal cannabis.

Arizona

Arizona has made significant strides in cannabis legalization. Medical marijuana was approved by voters in 2010 through Proposition 203, allowing patients with qualifying conditions to access cannabis with a doctor’s recommendation. In November 2020, Arizona voters passed Proposition 207, legalizing recreational cannabis use for adults aged 21 and older. Under this law, adults can possess up to one ounce of cannabis and grow up to six plants at home. Recreational sales officially began in January 2021. Arizona’s dual medical and adult-use programs are regulated by the Arizona Department of Health Services, ensuring product safety, licensing, and compliance across the industry.

Arkansas

Arkansas legalized medical cannabis in 2016 through a voter-approved constitutional amendment. Qualified patients can purchase up to 2.5 ounces from licensed dispensaries every 14 days. Efforts to expand the program, including broadening qualifying conditions and extending card validity, failed to qualify for the November 2024 ballot due to insufficient valid signatures. Recreational use remains illegal, with a 2022 ballot measure to legalize it defeated by a 56.3% to 43.7% margin.

California

California has been a pioneer in cannabis legalization in the United States. In 1996, it became the first state to legalize medicinal cannabis with the passage of the Compassionate Use Act. This landmark legislation allowed patients with qualifying conditions to use cannabis for therapeutic purposes. Building on this foundation, California voters approved Proposition 64 in November 2016, legalizing recreational cannabis use for adults aged 21 and over. This act permitted adults to possess, cultivate, and purchase cannabis within regulated frameworks. Despite these advancements, challenges remain, including addressing the persistence of the illicit market and ensuring equitable access within the legal industry.

Colorado

Colorado was a trailblazer in cannabis reform, becoming one of the first U.S. states to legalize recreational cannabis. In 2012, voters approved Amendment 64, allowing adults aged 21 and older to possess up to one ounce of cannabis and grow up to six plants. Retail sales officially began in January 2014, making Colorado a model for the nation in cannabis regulation and taxation. The industry is regulated by the Colorado Marijuana Enforcement Division, ensuring compliance, safety, and quality. Legalization has generated significant tax revenue for education and infrastructure while fostering a mature and transparent cannabis marketplace.

Connecticut

Connecticut legalized recreational cannabis on July 1, 2021, allowing adults 21 and over to possess up to 1.5 ounces. Retail sales began in January 2023, with the number of dispensaries growing from 9 to 31 by early 2025. Despite this growth, sales have not met expectations due to competition and regulatory constraints. Recent legislative efforts aim to support hemp farmers by permitting them to cultivate cannabis, potentially boosting the state’s cannabis industry.

Delaware

In April 2023, Delaware legalized recreational cannabis through the passage of House Bills 1 and 2. Adults aged 21 and over are permitted to possess up to one ounce of cannabis, 12 grams of concentrated cannabis, or products containing up to 750 milligrams of delta-9 THC. The legislation also established a regulated market for cultivation, manufacturing, and retail sales. However, as of March 2025, retail sales have not commenced due to delays in the licensing process, causing frustration among potential licensees and consumers.

Florida

In 2016, Florida voters approved Amendment 2, establishing a medical marijuana program for patients with qualifying conditions. Despite efforts to legalize recreational cannabis, such as the 2024 Amendment 3 initiative, these measures have not met the required 60% supermajority for passage. Consequently, recreational use remains illegal, with possession of up to 20 grams classified as a misdemeanor, punishable by up to one year in jail and a $1,000 fine. However, products like delta-8 THC, derived from hemp, are legally available due to federal loopholes.

Georgia

As of March 2025, Georgia maintains strict cannabis laws. Recreational use remains illegal, with possession of any amount considered a misdemeanor, punishable by up to one year in jail and a $1,000 fine. In 2015, the state enacted the Haleigh’s Hope Act, allowing patients with qualifying conditions to possess low-THC cannabis oil (containing less than 5% THC). However, access remains limited due to regulatory challenges. In 2019, Georgia legalized the cultivation and processing of industrial hemp, creating new opportunities in the state’s agricultural sector.

Hawaii

Hawaii has a nuanced stance on cannabis. In 2000, it became the first U.S. state to legalize medical marijuana through legislative action, permitting patients with qualifying conditions to possess and cultivate cannabis for personal use. The program has since expanded, allowing registered patients to access cannabis from licensed dispensaries. In 2015, the state established the Medical Marijuana Dispensary Program to regulate the distribution of medical cannabis.

Regarding recreational use, possession of small amounts has been decriminalized. As of January 11, 2020, possession of up to three grams of cannabis is punishable by a $130 fine, eliminating the possibility of jail time. Efforts to legalize recreational cannabis have been ongoing. In February 2025, Hawaii lawmakers approved a bill to legalize recreational cannabis, allowing adults 21 and older to possess up to one ounce of marijuana and five grams of cannabis concentrate beginning January 1, 2026.

Idaho

Idaho maintains some of the strictest cannabis laws in the United States, prohibiting both medical and recreational use. In March 2025, the Idaho House of Representatives passed a resolution seeking to amend the state constitution to grant the legislature exclusive authority over marijuana regulation, effectively preventing voter-led initiatives to legalize cannabis. This measure reflects the state’s ongoing commitment to restricting cannabis legalization efforts. Despite these stringent policies, discussions and debates continue among advocates and lawmakers regarding the potential benefits and challenges of reforming Idaho’s cannabis laws.

Illinois

Illinois legalized medical marijuana in 2013 through the Compassionate Use of Medical Cannabis Pilot Program Act. In 2019, Illinois became the first state to legalize recreational cannabis through the legislature, rather than a ballot initiative. The Cannabis Regulation and Tax Act allows adults aged 21 and over to purchase and possess up to 30 grams of cannabis. Legal sales began in January 2020. The law includes social equity provisions to help communities disproportionately impacted by previous cannabis enforcement. Cannabis is regulated by the Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation, ensuring product safety and industry compliance across the state.

Indiana

As of March 2025, cannabis remains illegal for both recreational and medical use in Indiana. Possession of any amount is classified as a Class B misdemeanor, potentially resulting in up to 180 days in jail and fines reaching $1,000. In January 2025, Indiana lawmakers introduced several bills aiming to legalize marijuana and establish a regulatory framework. These proposals include provisions for adult use, taxation, and the creation of a state agency to oversee cannabis operations. However, these bills have yet to advance, and significant opposition persists among state leadership. Senate President Pro Tempore Rodric Bray has expressed opposition to any form of marijuana legalization, indicating that comprehensive reform is unlikely in the near future.

Iowa

In Iowa, recreational cannabis remains illegal, and the state continues to enforce penalties for possession. Despite neighboring states like Illinois, Minnesota, and Missouri legalizing cannabis for adult use, Iowa has not followed suit. The state’s medical cannabidiol program, established in 2017, permits the use of products containing both CBD and THC for patients with qualifying conditions. Recent legislative efforts have focused on expanding the program, including a proposed bill in January 2025 to allow vaporized cannabis flower for medical use. However, broader legalization initiatives have faced resistance, with GOP leaders expressing reluctance to pursue such measures despite potential tax revenue benefits.

Kansas

As of March 2025, cannabis remains illegal in Kansas for both medical and recreational use. In 2021, the Kansas House passed a medical marijuana bill, marking the first time such legislation received a floor vote; however, it stalled in the Senate. In 2023, HB 2405 was introduced to legalize and regulate cannabis for adults aged 21 and over, but it is unlikely to receive a committee hearing this session. Despite legislative inaction, public support is notable, with approximately 61% of Kansans favoring recreational marijuana legalization. Possession of any amount remains a misdemeanor, punishable by up to six months in jail and a $1,000 fine.

Kentucky

In March 2023, Kentucky took a significant step by legalizing medical cannabis through Senate Bill 47, signed into law by Governor Andy Beshear. The legislation established a comprehensive medical cannabis program, which became effective on January 1, 2025. This program allows patients with qualifying medical conditions—such as cancer, multiple sclerosis, chronic pain, epilepsy, chronic nausea, and post-traumatic stress disorder—to access medical cannabis with certification from authorized healthcare providers.

To facilitate patient access, the state launched an online directory in December 2024, connecting patients with over 150 authorized medical practitioners. Additionally, Kentucky implemented a lottery system to award licenses for cannabis cultivation, processing, and dispensaries, ensuring a fair and regulated rollout of the medical cannabis industry. The first business license was granted to KCA Labs, a facility designated to test medical cannabis products for safety and quality. These measures aim to provide safe, regulated access to medical cannabis for patients across the state.

Louisiana

Louisiana has progressively reformed its cannabis policies. The state legalized medical marijuana in 2015, allowing patients with qualifying conditions to access cannabis products in non-smokable forms. The program has since expanded, and as of August 1, 2022, the Louisiana Department of Health assumed regulatory authority over the state’s medical marijuana program. Louisiana Department of Health

Recreational use remains illegal; however, significant strides have been made toward decriminalization. In June 2024, legislation was signed into law reducing penalties for possession of cannabis paraphernalia. Under the new law, first-time offenders face a $100 fine, with no jail time, effective August 1, 2024. Additionally, the state has implemented measures to allow expungements for low-level cannabis offenses, reflecting a shift toward more lenient cannabis policies.

Maine

Maine has a rich history of progressive cannabis legislation. In 1999, voters approved a referendum legalizing medical cannabis, allowing patients with qualifying conditions to use marijuana for therapeutic purposes. The state’s medical cannabis program was further expanded in 2009 to establish a legal distribution system. In 2016, Maine voters passed Question 1, legalizing the recreational use, retail sale, and taxation of cannabis for adults aged 21 and over.

New Jersey has progressively reformed its cannabis laws over recent years. In 2010, the state legalized medical cannabis through legislative action. A significant milestone occurred on February 22, 2021, when Governor Phil Murphy signed three bills into law, legalizing and regulating cannabis use and possession for adults aged 21 and over. This legislative action followed a public mandate, as New Jersey voters had overwhelmingly approved a constitutional amendment to legalize recreational marijuana in November 2020. The first recreational cannabis sales in the state commenced on April 21, 2022. These developments position New Jersey as a leader in cannabis reform within the Mid-Atlantic region.

In 2023, the Eastern Band of the Cherokee Nation approved a referendum to legalize adult possession, cultivation, and purchase of cannabis on tribal lands, with sales commencing on September 7, 2024. This marks the first instance of legal adult-use cannabis sales within North Carolina’s borders. Additionally, legislative efforts continue, with the North Carolina Senate passing medical cannabis legalization bills in 2022 and 2023, though comprehensive statewide legalization has yet to be achieved.

North Dakota

In North Dakota, medical cannabis has been legal since 2016. Efforts to legalize recreational cannabis have faced challenges. In November 2024, Measure 5, which aimed to legalize adult-use cannabis, was defeated, with 53% of voters opposing the initiative.

Oklahoma

Oklahoma has experienced significant developments in cannabis legislation over recent years. In June 2018, voters approved State Question 788, legalizing medical marijuana and establishing the Oklahoma Medical Marijuana Authority (OMMA) to regulate the program. By 2021, the state had registered over 9,400 grow operations, reflecting a rapid expansion of the industry. However, in March 2023, Oklahoma voters rejected State Question 820, a ballot initiative that sought to legalize recreational marijuana for adults aged 21 and over. As of now, recreational cannabis remains illegal in Oklahoma, while the medical marijuana program continues under OMMA’s oversight.

Oregon

Oregon has been a trailblazer in cannabis policy reform within the United States. In 1973, it became the first state to decriminalize possession of small amounts of marijuana, reducing penalties and setting a precedent for future legislation. Building on this progressive stance, Oregon voters approved the Oregon Medical Marijuana Act in 1998, allowing patients with qualifying conditions to use cannabis for therapeutic purposes. The momentum continued with the passage of Measure 91 in 2014, legalizing recreational cannabis use for adults aged 21 and over, with implementation beginning on July 1, 2015. This comprehensive approach has positioned Oregon as a leader in cannabis legalization, balancing regulation with access.

Pennsylvania

As of March 2025, Pennsylvania permits medical cannabis use under the Medical Marijuana Act signed into law on May 17, 2016. Patients with qualifying conditions can obtain a 30-day supply from licensed dispensaries. Recreational use remains illegal; however, there is growing advocacy for legalization. State Representative Rick Krajewski plans to co-sponsor a proposal to legalize recreational cannabis, suggesting sales through a state-run store system similar to Pennsylvania’s liquor sales. Proponents argue that legalization could generate approximately $250 million annually in revenue, addressing budgetary concerns. Despite increasing bipartisan interest, previous efforts have been hindered by the GOP-majority Senate due to federal prohibition concerns.

Rhode Island

Rhode Island legalized medical cannabis on July 1, 2006, allowing patients with qualifying conditions to possess up to 2.5 ounces. On May 25, 2022, the state expanded legalization to include recreational use for adults 21 and older. Individuals may possess up to 1 ounce in public and up to 10 ounces at home. Additionally, home cultivation of up to six plants (three mature, three immature) is permitted. The legislation also established a framework for regulated sales, with licensed dispensaries beginning operations in December 2022.

South Carolina

As of March 2025, South Carolina maintains strict cannabis laws. Recreational use is fully illegal, and the state has not established a comprehensive medical cannabis program. The only exception is the limited allowance of CBD oil containing no more than 0.9% THC for patients with severe epilepsy, as authorized by legislation signed on June 2, 2014. Efforts to pass broader medical cannabis legislation, such as the South Carolina Compassionate Care Act, have been introduced but have not advanced.

Tennessee

Tennessee prohibits both recreational and comprehensive medical cannabis use. The state allows limited medical use of cannabis oil containing less than 0.9% THC for patients with intractable seizures, as per legislation effective May 16, 2014. Despite ongoing legislative efforts to expand medical cannabis access, such as HB 621 and SB 854 introduced in 2021, no significant progress has been made toward broader legalization.

Texas

In Texas, recreational cannabis remains illegal. Possession of up to two ounces is classified as a Class B misdemeanor, punishable by up to 180 days in jail and a fine of up to $2,000. However, the state has made limited allowances for medical cannabis use. In 2015, the Compassionate Use Act permitted low-THC cannabis products for patients with intractable epilepsy. This program has since expanded to include additional qualifying conditions. Recent legislative efforts, such as House Bill 1208 and Senate Bill 335, aim to legalize and regulate cannabis for adults aged 21 and over, but these proposals have yet to pass. Additionally, the 2019 legalization of hemp created a market for low-THC products, leading to ongoing debates about regulation and enforcement.

Utah

In November 2018, Utah voters approved Proposition 2, legalizing medical cannabis for patients with qualifying conditions. The law permits registered patients to obtain medical cannabis from licensed pharmacies. Since its enactment, the program has undergone several legislative adjustments to improve patient access and program efficiency. Despite these advancements, recreational cannabis remains illegal in Utah. Public opinion, however, appears to be shifting; a recent poll indicates that a majority of Utah residents would vote to legalize recreational marijuana, reflecting evolving attitudes toward cannabis use in the state.

Vermont

Vermont has been at the forefront of cannabis policy reform in the United States. In 2004, the state legislature approved the use of cannabis for medical purposes, marking a significant shift towards more progressive drug policies. This was followed in 2013 by the decriminalization of possessing one ounce or less, reducing penalties to a civil fine. In July 2018, Vermont made history by legalizing possession, private consumption, and limited cultivation of cannabis for adults aged 21 and over. Notably, Vermont was the first state to legalize recreational cannabis through legislative action rather than a public referendum. This legislative approach underscores Vermont’s commitment to thoughtful and measured cannabis policy reform.

Virginia

Virginia legalized the possession and personal cultivation of cannabis for adults aged 21 and over on July 1, 2021. Individuals are permitted to possess up to one ounce and cultivate up to four plants per household. Despite this, the establishment of a legal retail market has faced challenges. In March 2025, Governor Glenn Youngkin vetoed legislation aimed at creating a regulated system for recreational cannabis sales, citing concerns over health and safety. Consequently, while personal use is legal, Virginians lack access to regulated retail cannabis outlets, leading to a complex and evolving legal landscape.

Washington

Washington state has been at the forefront of cannabis legalization in the United States. In 1998, voters approved Initiative 692, legalizing medical marijuana for patients with qualifying conditions. Building on this foundation, Washington made history in 2012 by passing Initiative 502, which legalized recreational cannabis for adults aged 21 and over. This law permits the possession of up to one ounce of usable cannabis, 16 ounces of cannabis-infused products in solid form, 72 ounces in liquid form, and seven grams of cannabis concentrate. The Washington State Liquor and Cannabis Board oversees the regulation and licensing of cannabis producers, processors, and retailers, ensuring compliance with state laws. Notably, while personal possession is legal, home cultivation for recreational use is prohibited, except for medical marijuana patients who may grow up to six plants.

West Virginia

West Virginia has taken steps toward medical cannabis legalization. In 2017, the state enacted the Medical Cannabis Act, allowing patients with specific qualifying conditions to access medical marijuana. The program permits the use of cannabis in forms such as pills, oils, tinctures, and vaporizable forms; however, smoking and edible forms are prohibited. Patients may possess a 30-day supply of medical cannabis, as determined by their physician. The West Virginia Office of Medical Cannabis is responsible for regulating the program, including the issuance of patient identification cards and the licensing of dispensaries. As of March 2025, recreational use of cannabis remains illegal in West Virginia, with possession of any amount classified as a misdemeanor, punishable by up to six months in jail and a $1,000 fine.

Wisconsin

Wisconsin maintains stringent cannabis laws. Both recreational and medical use of cannabis are illegal in the state. Possession of any amount is considered a misdemeanor, punishable by up to six months in jail and a $1,000 fine for a first offense; subsequent offenses are classified as felonies. However, in 2014, Wisconsin enacted a limited medical cannabis law, allowing the use of cannabidiol (CBD) oil with low THC content for patients with seizure disorders, provided they have a physician’s certification. Despite public support for broader legalization, legislative efforts have stalled, and as of March 2025, no comprehensive medical or recreational cannabis programs exist in Wisconsin.

Wyoming

Wyoming has some of the strictest cannabis laws in the United States. Both recreational and medical use of cannabis are illegal. Possession of less than three ounces is considered a misdemeanor, punishable by up to one year in jail and a $1,000 fine. Possession of greater amounts or subsequent offenses can result in felony charges. The state does not have a medical marijuana program; however, in 2015, Wyoming passed a limited law allowing the use of CBD oil with less than 0.3% THC for patients with intractable epilepsy, though access remains highly restricted. Efforts to reform cannabis laws have faced significant opposition, and as of March 2025, no substantial changes have been enacted.
