Source: States and territories legislation, NBC reports, NCSL map data: \nTilegrams\/NPRCreated\nwith\nDatawrapper\nLegal\nIllegal\nMedical Use Only\nAlaska\nhas been a pioneer in marijuana legalization, starting back in 1998 with the passage of its medical marijuana program. Later, in 2014, recreational use was legalized in 2014 through Ballot Measure 2. Adults over the age of 21 can legally use and possess up to an ounce of marijuana for recreational purposes. However, consuming cannabis in public remains illegal and can result in a fine of up to $100. Additionally, adults are allowed to cultivate up to six marijuana plants per household, with a limit of three mature plants.\nIn\nArizona\n, marijuana laws allow for both medical and recreational use. Proposition 203, passed in 2010, legalized medical marijuana, allowing patients to possess up to 2.5 ounces of usable marijuana every 14 days and cultivate up to 12 plants. Additionally, adults aged 21 and over can legally use, possess, and purchase up to 1 ounce of marijuana, with restrictions on marijuana concentrates. However, smoking or vaping marijuana in public remains illegal. Better yet, adults are allowed to grow up to six plants at home.\nCalifornia\nwas one of the first states to accept cannabis for medical patients, and they've been paving the way for the culture ever since. Proposition 215 passed in 1996, allowing for medical marijuana use. However, cannabis was legalized for recreational use in 2016. Adults over the age of 21 can legally purchase and possess up to 1 ounce of cannabis or up to 8 grams of concentrated cannabis for recreational use. However, for medicinal use with a doctor's note, the age requirement drops to 18, and you'll get higher possession limits. Adults are allowed to cultivate up to six cannabis plants at home, although cultivation requirements may vary by city and county. It's important to note that marijuana use in public spaces remains illegal in California.\nColorado\nwas one of the first states to go rec in 2012, but they started by passing Ballot Amendment 20 in 2000, allowing for medical marijuana use. Adults with a valid I.D. over the age of 21 can purchase and possess up to 1 ounce of marijuana, 8 grams of marijuana concentrate, or marijuana products containing up to 800 milligrams of THC in a single transaction. Possession limits for weed purchased from licensed dispensaries are capped at 2 ounces, though. Additionally, adults are allowed to cultivate up to six marijuana plants at home, with a limit of three mature plants at a time.\nConnecticut's\nmarijuana laws underwent major changes with the passage of House Bill 5389 in 2021. Adults over the age of 21 are now permitted to possess or consume up to 1.5 ounces (42.5 grams) of weed and store up to 5 ounces in a locked container in a home or in the trunk or locked glove box of their vehicle. Additionally, the possession limit for usable marijuana is set at 2.5 ounces.\nIn\nDelaware\n, voters passed medical marijuana back in 2011 with Senate Bill 17. However, they recently jumped on the recreational bandwagon, allowing people aged 21 and older to possess up to 1 ounce of weed, 12 grams of concentrates, or marijuana products containing up to 750 milligrams of THC in 2023. Possession of more than an ounce of marijuana and public consumption remain misdemeanors, though. So, always be sure to follow Delaware's laws.\nIn\nIllinois\n, both medical and recreational marijuana are legal. Medical marijuana was legalized in 2013 through House Bill 1, allowing qualified patients to possess up to 2.5 ounces of usable cannabis during a 14-day period. Following this, recreational marijuana was legalized in 2019. Residents over the age of 21 can purchase and possess up to 1 ounce of marijuana at any time, while non-residents may possess up to 15 grams. However, consuming marijuana in public places remains illegal.\nMaine\nhas always had a pretty relaxed stance on weed and has had an established medical program since 1999, making it one of the first states to accept it. In Maine, both recreational and medical marijuana are legal. Anyone aged 21 and over can possess up to 2.5 ounces of cannabis for recreational use. Adult residents can also cultivate up to three flowering marijuana plants at a time and up to 12 immature plants at home. Medical marijuana has been legal in Maine since 1999, allowing patients to possess up to 2.5 ounces of usable marijuana and cultivate up to 6 plants. \nIn 2022,\nMaryland\nvoters approved recreational cannabis to become established, and in 2023, the first recreational dispensaries opened. Maryland allows anyone 21 or older to possess up to 1.5 ounces of cannabis flower, 12 grams of concentrated cannabis, or a total amount of cannabis products not exceeding 750 mg THC for recreational use. However, medical marijuana has been legal in Maryland since 2014, allowing patients to possess a 30-day supply of cannabis. How much that is depends on your doctor's note.\nMassachusetts\nis yet another fully recreational state and was one of the first to join in on the recreational movement in the mid-2010s. Adults aged 21 and over are allowed to have up to 1 ounce of marijuana outside the home and up to 10 ounces inside their homes for recreational use. Possession of more than 2 ounces of marijuana outside the house is considered a criminal offense, though. Residents can also cultivate up to six plants per person and up to 12 plants per household, but they have to be completely hidden from the public eye. Landlords are also totally allowed to tell you you can't grow on their property, even if you have a medical card. For medical marijuana, legalized in 2012, patients are permitted a 60-day supply for personal medical use, up to 10 ounces.\nMichigan\nwas one of the first states to establish a medical marijuana program, but they took a huge leap in 2018 when they legalized recreational cannabis, too. Michigan residents aged 21 or older are permitted to possess or transport up to 2.5 ounces of weed at a time. They can also grow up to 12 plants, but not in public view, and are allowed to give 2.5 ounces to another person as long as they don't sell the weed to them directly. It has to be a gift. On the medical side, patients are allowed to possess up to 2.5 ounces of usable marijuana and cultivate up to 12 plants.\nMinnesota\nis one of the latest states to join the recreational movement in 2023. While state-run dispensaries aren't expected to open until 2025, you can buy legal recreational cannabis from native American lands, as tribal sovereignty allows them to sell recreational cannabis. In Minnesota, adults aged 21 and older can possess and travel within the state with up to 2 ounces of cannabis flower, 8 grams of concentrate, and 800 milligrams worth of THC-containing edible products. They can have up to 2 pounds of cannabis flower at home. For medical marijuana, legalized in 2014, patients are allowed a 30-day supply of non-smoking marijuana.\nRecreational cannabis was legalized in 2022, and rec dispensaries opened just a year later in 2023. In\nMissouri\n, adults aged 21 and older are allowed to purchase and possess up to 3 ounces of marijuana for recreational use. Missouri also has an established medical program that started in 2018, allowing patients to enjoy up to 4 ounces of weed per 30-day period and grow up to six plants at home. Whether you're medical or rec, you have to register with the state to grow your own weed at home. A cultivation card costs $100 and can be purchased through the state's health department.\nIn\nMontana\n, weed is recreational, but it can sometimes be a bit difficult to find. Local governments were able to choose whether or not they wanted to adopt recreational cannabis, so cannabis businesses aren't allowed to operate in counties where the majority of voters rejected the measure. That said, weed is still legal, and you can still use it; you might just have to drive over a county or two to pick up weed. The good news is that you can buy and possess an ounce of cannabis, up to 8 grams of concentrate, or edibles containing up to 800 mg of THC— meaning you won't have to re-up as often. For medical marijuana, patients are allowed to possess 1 ounce of usable marijuana, cultivate up to 4 mature plants, and have up to 12 seedlings at a time.\nIt makes sense that\nNevada\nwould be one of the first states to allow for recreational weed. In 2016, they legalized it— but that doesn't mean you're allowed to walk through Vegas with a joint rolling. Consumption of marijuana is restricted to private homes, as it remains illegal to consume it in public, except for licensed businesses with established on-site consumption lounges. Adults 21 and over with a valid I.D. can purchase up to an ounce of marijuana or one-eighth of an ounce of edibles or concentrates. Residents can grow up to six plants per person, with a maximum of 12 plants per household. On the other hand, medical marijuana has been legal in Nevada since 2000, allowing patients to possess up to 2.5 ounces and grow 12 plants.\nNew Jersey\nis also a member of the fully rec club. The state allows dispensaries to sell up to the equivalent of 1 ounce of cannabis to adults 21 and older. You can choose from dried flower, concentrates, or edibles, but they can only add up to 1000mg of THC in total. The cool thing is that New Jersey has also decriminalized possession of up to 6 ounces of marijuana or about 17 grams of concentrates. Like many states, the medical program is a little more lenient with how much you can use and have at a time. Patients with a valid prescription to possess up to 3 ounces of usable cannabis.\nFollowing the passage of a bill in April 2021, adults aged 21 and older in\nNew Mexico\nare permitted to possess up to two ounces of cannabis. Additionally, residents are allowed to cultivate up to six cannabis plants per person up to 12 plants per household. New Mexico was also one of the first to adopt medical marijuana and has been offering it since 2007. Patients with a valid prescription can possess up to 6 ounces of usable cannabis and grow up to 16 plants, with specific maturity requirements.\nCannabis in\nNew York\nwent fully recreational in 2021. Anyone 21 and over in New York can purchase and possess up to 3 ounces of cannabis or 24 grams of concentrated forms, such as oils or concentrates. Additionally, adults can grow up to six cannabis plants for personal use, with up to three flowering at a time. Households can grow up to 12, with no more than six mature at a time. New York's medical program has been in full swing since 2014, allowing patients to buy and use weed legally. To qualify for medical cannabis in New York, you must receive certification from a state-registered healthcare provider indicating that cannabis is clinically appropriate for treating your health condition.\nOhio\nrecently jumped on the legalization wave, with the state's first recreational dispensaries now officially open. Adults also aged 21 and over are permitted to possess up to 2.5 ounces of cannabis and cultivate up to six plants per person and up to 12 plants per household for personal use. As of August the 6th, 2024, Medical marijuana dispensaries that received new recreational licenses will soon welcome customers aged 21 and older, offering both medical and recreational products available to purchase.\nAs the licensing process continues, more dispensary shops are expected to start adult-use sales in the coming weeks. Staff have been preparing for the anticipated increase in business. Medical marijuana became legal in 2016, allowing patients with qualifying conditions to access cannabis with a prescription. The law permits a 90-day supply for medical use, depending on what your doctor says. \nOregon\nwas one of the first states to establish a medical marijuana program way back in 1998 with Ballot Measure 67, allowing patients with qualifying conditions to possess up to a whopping 24 ounces of usable marijuana and cultivate up to 24 plants, with no more than six mature at a time. In 2014, Oregon also legalized recreational marijuana, allowing adults over 21 to possess up to one ounce of weed away from home and up to eight ounces at home. Edible products have separate possession limits of 16 ounces for solid forms and 72 ounces for drinkables. Additionally, residents on the rec side can cultivate up to four cannabis plants at home. Just be sure to keep your smoking situated indoors, as Oregon has some pretty strict laws about using weed in public illegally.\nRhode Island\nlegalized medical marijuana in 2006 through Senate Bill 0710, allowing patients to possess up to 2.5 ounces of usable cannabis and grow up to 12 plants. In 2022, the state went rec, allowing anyone 21 and older to purchase and possess up to 1 ounce of cannabis for personal use. Residents are also allowed to grow up to six plants at home, with a limit of three mature plants at a time. The best part is that recreational dispensaries are already running, so you'll have easy access to them when you visit.\nVermont\nhas had medical marijuana since 2004 and chose to legalize recreational weed in 2020. Now, you can apply to be a medical patient and purchase or possess up to 2 ounces of weed at a time. You can also grow up to 9 plants as long as you only have two mature ones at a time. On the recreational side, you're allowed to buy and possess up to one ounce and grow up to 6 plants, as long as only two are flowering at a time. Vermont is an excellent state to visit because of its solid medical program and relaxed recreational laws.\nThings moved fast in\nVirginia\n. Shortly after adopting a medical marijuana program in 2018, the state voted to go fully recreational in 2021. That said, both medical and recreational cannabis are available for purchase in Virginia. Adults 21 and older can possess up to 1 ounce of cannabis and grow up to four plants for personal use, as long as the plants are hidden from public view. The medical marijuana program allows patients to possess a 90-day supply of total cannabis products and broadens authorization for medical marijuana use for any qualifying medical condition.\nWashington\nwas one of the very first states to adopt recreational cannabis back in 2012. The state has always had a positive outlook on weed, though; it adopted medical marijuana back in 1998. For recreational users, you just have to be 21 to purchase, and you can possess up to an ounce of dried marijuana, 16 ounces of infused edibles, 72 ounces of infused liquids, or 7 grams of concentrates. The medical marijuana program was established in 1998 through Initiative 692, allowing patients to possess up to 8 ounces of usable marijuana and grow up to 6 plants.","attrs_markdown":"![](https:\/\/theherblifestyle.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/cookie.png)\n\nThis website uses cookies and similar technologies to operate the site, analyze data, improve user experience, and show ads.

Possession of any amount of marijuana is punishable by law, with penalties varying depending on how much you were caught with and how many times you've been caught in the past. Possession of 1 ounce or less is considered a misdemeanor, resulting in a maximum sentence of 30 days in jail and a fine ranging from \\$100 to \\$200. Possession of 1 ounce or more is classified as a felony, carrying potential penalties of up to 5 years imprisonment or fines of up to \\$5,000 for a first offense.

First-time offenders face a mandatory \\$250 fine, with subsequent offenses carrying a mandatory minimum fine of \\$500.

For now, weed is still completely illegal and not decriminalized. It has a very limited medical program, but it only offers hemp products that contain less than 1% THC. Recently, though, they began allowing hemp-derived edibles to contain more THC, so things may change soon. Other forms of marijuana consumption, such as smoking, vaping, and edibles, remain illegal.

Even with nearby states offering marijuana, Wisconsin still holds stringent policies against weed and hasn't made any moves to decriminalize it in any capacity. You can, however, still purchase hemp in Wisconsin. Getting caught in possession of marijuana is considered a misdemeanor, with penalties ranging from fines to imprisonment, depending on the amount and number of convictions. For instance, a first offense for possession can lead to a fine of up to \\$1,000 and\/or imprisonment of up to 6 months. Cultivation and sale carry severe penalties as well, with fines reaching up to \\$25,000 and imprisonment for several years or more, depending on the quantity involved.

Possession of any amount of marijuana is considered a misdemeanor, with penalties ranging from fines to imprisonment. Possession of three ounces or less can result in up to 12 months imprisonment and a fine of up to \\$1,000. In comparison, possessing more than three ounces is a felony, punishable by up to 5 years imprisonment and a maximum \\$10,000 fine. Possession of hash and concentrates follows similar laws, with misdemeanor charges for smaller amounts and felony charges for larger quantities. Paraphernalia related to marijuana use is also prohibited, and the delivery of paraphernalia to minors can lead to felony charges.\n\nAdditionally, there are enhanced penalties for offenses committed near schools or involving distribution to minors. Moral of the story: don't drive through Wyoming if you have medical or recreational weed from any of the states that surround it.

The approved forms of medical marijuana include pills, skin patches, and creams, but smoking or vaping products are not allowed. As of now, possession limits and travel laws for medical marijuana patients from other states remain to be established, while cultivation laws have not been specified.

However, you won't see any dispensaries out there until around 2025. Patients with a diagnosis from the list of 21 approved conditions will be allowed to possess up to a 30-day supply of medical marijuana, with exact limits still being established. In the meantime, patients can possess up to 8 ounces of marijuana, but it has to come from a state where weed is fully legal, meaning Illinois, Ohio, and Virginia. The issue with that is that you'll have to abide by each state's laws to ensure you're not transporting more than your legal limit in other states.\n\n- ![](https:\/\/theherblifestyle.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Flag_of_Louisiana.svg)\n  ![](https:\/\/theherblifestyle.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Flag_of_Louisiana.svg)\n  Louisiana\n- Medical use: Legal\n- Recreational: No\n- ![](https:\/\/theherblifestyle.com\/wp-content\/themes\/astra-child\/images\/copy-icon.png)\n  ![](https:\/\/theherblifestyle.com\/wp-content\/themes\/astra-child\/images\/copy-icon.png)\n\n[Louisiana](https:\/\/ldh.la.gov\/page\/medical-marijuana) permits medical marijuana use with a verified medical card indicating a recommendation from a doctor.

Minors, with permission from a parent or legal guardian, can also obtain a card through a doctor. However, residents with prior criminal convictions may not qualify for the program.

Additionally, they can have up to 72 ounces of edibles. Cultivation is also allowed, with patients allowed to grow up to six plants, including six mature and six immature plants.

Later, in 2014, recreational use was legalized in 2014 through Ballot Measure 2. Adults over the age of 21 can legally use and possess up to an ounce of marijuana for recreational purposes. However, consuming cannabis in public remains illegal and can result in a fine of up to \\$100. Additionally, adults are allowed to cultivate up to six marijuana plants per household, with a limit of three mature plants.\n\nIn [Arizona](https:\/\/azdor.gov\/business\/transaction-privilege-tax\/adult-use-marijuana), marijuana laws allow for both medical and recreational use. Proposition 203, passed in 2010, legalized medical marijuana, allowing patients to possess up to 2.5 ounces of usable marijuana every 14 days and cultivate up to 12 plants. Additionally, adults aged 21 and over can legally use, possess, and purchase up to 1 ounce of marijuana, with restrictions on marijuana concentrates. However, smoking or vaping marijuana in public remains illegal. Better yet, adults are allowed to grow up to six plants at home.\n\n[California](https:\/\/cannabis.ca.gov\/cannabis-laws\/laws-and-regulations\/) was one of the first states to accept cannabis for medical patients, and they've been paving the way for the culture ever since. Proposition 215 passed in 1996, allowing for medical marijuana use. However, cannabis was legalized for recreational use in 2016. Adults over the age of 21 can legally purchase and possess up to 1 ounce of cannabis or up to 8 grams of concentrated cannabis for recreational use. However, for medicinal use with a doctor's note, the age requirement drops to 18, and you'll get higher possession limits. Adults are allowed to cultivate up to six cannabis plants at home, although cultivation requirements may vary by city and county. It's important to note that marijuana use in public spaces remains illegal in California.\n\n[Colorado](https:\/\/cannabis.colorado.gov\/legal-marijuana-use\/laws-about-marijuana-use) was one of the first states to go rec in 2012, but they started by passing Ballot Amendment 20 in 2000, allowing for medical marijuana use. Adults with a valid I.D. over the age of 21 can purchase and possess up to 1 ounce of marijuana, 8 grams of marijuana concentrate, or marijuana products containing up to 800 milligrams of THC in a single transaction. Possession limits for weed purchased from licensed dispensaries are capped at 2 ounces, though. Additionally, adults are allowed to cultivate up to six marijuana plants at home, with a limit of three mature plants at a time.\n\n[Connecticut's](https:\/\/portal.ct.gov\/cannabis?language=en_US) marijuana laws underwent major changes with the passage of House Bill 5389 in 2021. Adults over the age of 21 are now permitted to possess or consume up to 1.5 ounces (42.5 grams) of weed and store up to 5 ounces in a locked container in a home or in the trunk or locked glove box of their vehicle. Additionally, the possession limit for usable marijuana is set at 2.5 ounces.\n\nIn [Delaware](https:\/\/legis.delaware.gov\/json\/BillDetail\/GenerateHtmlDocument?legislationId=48480&legislationTypeId=1&docTypeId=2&legislationName=HB150), voters passed medical marijuana back in 2011 with Senate Bill 17. However, they recently jumped on the recreational bandwagon, allowing people aged 21 and older to possess up to 1 ounce of weed, 12 grams of concentrates, or marijuana products containing up to 750 milligrams of THC in 2023. Possession of more than an ounce of marijuana and public consumption remain misdemeanors, though. So, always be sure to follow Delaware's laws.\n\nIn [Illinois](https:\/\/www2.illinois.gov\/IISNews\/20242-Summary_of_HB_1438__The_Cannabis_Regulation_and_Tax_Act.pdf), both medical and recreational marijuana are legal. Medical marijuana was legalized in 2013 through House Bill 1, allowing qualified patients to possess up to 2.5 ounces of usable cannabis during a 14-day period. Following this, recreational marijuana was legalized in 2019. Residents over the age of 21 can purchase and possess up to 1 ounce of marijuana at any time, while non-residents may possess up to 15 grams. However, consuming marijuana in public places remains illegal.\n\n[Maine](https:\/\/www.maine.gov\/dafs\/ocp\/resources\/faq) has always had a pretty relaxed stance on weed and has had an established medical program since 1999, making it one of the first states to accept it. In Maine, both recreational and medical marijuana are legal. Anyone aged 21 and over can possess up to 2.5 ounces of cannabis for recreational use. Adult residents can also cultivate up to three flowering marijuana plants at a time and up to 12 immature plants at home. Medical marijuana has been legal in Maine since 1999, allowing patients to possess up to 2.5 ounces of usable marijuana and cultivate up to 6 plants.\n\nIn 2022, [Maryland](https:\/\/cannabis.maryland.gov\/Pages\/cannabisfaq.aspx) voters approved recreational cannabis to become established, and in 2023, the first recreational dispensaries opened. Maryland allows anyone 21 or older to possess up to 1.5 ounces of cannabis flower, 12 grams of concentrated cannabis, or a total amount of cannabis products not exceeding 750 mg THC for recreational use. However, medical marijuana has been legal in Maryland since 2014, allowing patients to possess a 30-day supply of cannabis. How much that is depends on your doctor's note.\n\n[Massachusetts](https:\/\/masscannabiscontrol.com\/frequently-asked-questions\/) is yet another fully recreational state and was one of the first to join in on the recreational movement in the mid-2010s. Adults aged 21 and over are allowed to have up to 1 ounce of marijuana outside the home and up to 10 ounces inside their homes for recreational use. Possession of more than 2 ounces of marijuana outside the house is considered a criminal offense, though. Residents can also cultivate up to six plants per person and up to 12 plants per household, but they have to be completely hidden from the public eye. Landlords are also totally allowed to tell you you can't grow on their property, even if you have a medical card. For medical marijuana, legalized in 2012, patients are permitted a 60-day supply for personal medical use, up to 10 ounces.\n\n[Michigan](https:\/\/www.michigan.gov\/-\/media\/Project\/Websites\/cra\/consumer-connection\/2021-lara-child-marijuana-brochure-APPROVED.pdf?rev=8a7de5aa78394b5d932b0bed20b4e20a#:~:text=Anyone%20age%2021%20or%20older%20may%20possess%20and%20consume%20marijuana.&text=Where%20marijuana%20sales%20are%20legal,marijuana%20concentrate%20at%20one%20time.&text=At%20home%2C%20an%20individual%20may,flower%20in%20a%20secured%20location.) was one of the first states to establish a medical marijuana program, but they took a huge leap in 2018 when they legalized recreational cannabis, too. Michigan residents aged 21 or older are permitted to possess or transport up to 2.5 ounces of weed at a time. They can also grow up to 12 plants, but not in public view, and are allowed to give 2.5 ounces to another person as long as they don't sell the weed to them directly. It has to be a gift. On the medical side, patients are allowed to possess up to 2.5 ounces of usable marijuana and cultivate up to 12 plants.\n\n[Minnesota](https:\/\/www.cannabis.mn.gov\/consumers.html) is one of the latest states to join the recreational movement in 2023. While state-run dispensaries aren't expected to open until 2025, you can buy legal recreational cannabis from native American lands, as tribal sovereignty allows them to sell recreational cannabis. In Minnesota, adults aged 21 and older can possess and travel within the state with up to 2 ounces of cannabis flower, 8 grams of concentrate, and 800 milligrams worth of THC-containing edible products. They can have up to 2 pounds of cannabis flower at home. For medical marijuana, legalized in 2014, patients are allowed a 30-day supply of non-smoking marijuana.\n\nRecreational cannabis was legalized in 2022, and rec dispensaries opened just a year later in 2023. In [Missouri](https:\/\/health.mo.gov\/safety\/cannabis\/faqs-adultuse.php), adults aged 21 and older are allowed to purchase and possess up to 3 ounces of marijuana for recreational use. Missouri also has an established medical program that started in 2018, allowing patients to enjoy up to 4 ounces of weed per 30-day period and grow up to six plants at home. Whether you're medical or rec, you have to register with the state to grow your own weed at home. A cultivation card costs \\$100 and can be purchased through the state's health department.\n\nIn [Montana](https:\/\/mtrevenue.gov\/cannabis\/faqs\/), weed is recreational, but it can sometimes be a bit difficult to find. Local governments were able to choose whether or not they wanted to adopt recreational cannabis, so cannabis businesses aren't allowed to operate in counties where the majority of voters rejected the measure. That said, weed is still legal, and you can still use it; you might just have to drive over a county or two to pick up weed. The good news is that you can buy and possess an ounce of cannabis, up to 8 grams of concentrate, or edibles containing up to 800 mg of THC— meaning you won't have to re-up as often. For medical marijuana, patients are allowed to possess 1 ounce of usable marijuana, cultivate up to 4 mature plants, and have up to 12 seedlings at a time.\n\nIt makes sense that [Nevada](https:\/\/nevadastatecannabis.org\/laws) would be one of the first states to allow for recreational weed. In 2016, they legalized it— but that doesn't mean you're allowed to walk through Vegas with a joint rolling. Consumption of marijuana is restricted to private homes, as it remains illegal to consume it in public, except for licensed businesses with established on-site consumption lounges. Adults 21 and over with a valid I.D. can purchase up to an ounce of marijuana or one-eighth of an ounce of edibles or concentrates. Residents can grow up to six plants per person, with a maximum of 12 plants per household. On the other hand, medical marijuana has been legal in Nevada since 2000, allowing patients to possess up to 2.5 ounces and grow 12 plants.\n\n[New Jersey](https:\/\/www.nj.gov\/cannabis\/adult-personal\/) is also a member of the fully rec club. The state allows dispensaries to sell up to the equivalent of 1 ounce of cannabis to adults 21 and older. You can choose from dried flower, concentrates, or edibles, but they can only add up to 1000mg of THC in total. The cool thing is that New Jersey has also decriminalized possession of up to 6 ounces of marijuana or about 17 grams of concentrates. Like many states, the medical program is a little more lenient with how much you can use and have at a time. Patients with a valid prescription to possess up to 3 ounces of usable cannabis.\n\nFollowing the passage of a bill in April 2021, adults aged 21 and older in [New Mexico](https:\/\/newmexicostatecannabis.org\/laws) are permitted to possess up to two ounces of cannabis. Additionally, residents are allowed to cultivate up to six cannabis plants per person up to 12 plants per household. New Mexico was also one of the first to adopt medical marijuana and has been offering it since 2007. Patients with a valid prescription can possess up to 6 ounces of usable cannabis and grow up to 16 plants, with specific maturity requirements.\n\nCannabis in [New York](https:\/\/cannabis.ny.gov\/cannabis-law-overview) went fully recreational in 2021. Anyone 21 and over in New York can purchase and possess up to 3 ounces of cannabis or 24 grams of concentrated forms, such as oils or concentrates. Additionally, adults can grow up to six cannabis plants for personal use, with up to three flowering at a time. Households can grow up to 12, with no more than six mature at a time. New York's medical program has been in full swing since 2014, allowing patients to buy and use weed legally. To qualify for medical cannabis in New York, you must receive certification from a state-registered healthcare provider indicating that cannabis is clinically appropriate for treating your health condition.\n\n[Ohio](https:\/\/codes.ohio.gov\/ohio-revised-code\/chapter-3796) recently jumped on the legalization wave, with the state's first recreational dispensaries now officially open. Adults also aged 21 and over are permitted to possess up to 2.5 ounces of cannabis and cultivate up to six plants per person and up to 12 plants per household for personal use. As of August the 6th, 2024, Medical marijuana dispensaries that received new recreational licenses will soon welcome customers aged 21 and older, offering both medical and recreational products available to purchase.\n\nAs the licensing process continues, more dispensary shops are expected to start adult-use sales in the coming weeks. Staff have been preparing for the anticipated increase in business. Medical marijuana became legal in 2016, allowing patients with qualifying conditions to access cannabis with a prescription. The law permits a 90-day supply for medical use, depending on what your doctor says.\n\n[Oregon](https:\/\/www.oregon.gov\/olcc\/marijuana\/pages\/frequently-asked-questions.aspx#:~:text=As%20of%20July%201%2C%202015,sold%20or%20smoked%20in%20public.) was one of the first states to establish a medical marijuana program way back in 1998 with Ballot Measure 67, allowing patients with qualifying conditions to possess up to a whopping 24 ounces of usable marijuana and cultivate up to 24 plants, with no more than six mature at a time. In 2014, Oregon also legalized recreational marijuana, allowing adults over 21 to possess up to one ounce of weed away from home and up to eight ounces at home. Edible products have separate possession limits of 16 ounces for solid forms and 72 ounces for drinkables. Additionally, residents on the rec side can cultivate up to four cannabis plants at home. Just be sure to keep your smoking situated indoors, as Oregon has some pretty strict laws about using weed in public illegally.\n\n[Rhode Island](https:\/\/rules.sos.ri.gov\/regulations\/part\/230-80-05-1) legalized medical marijuana in 2006 through Senate Bill 0710, allowing patients to possess up to 2.5 ounces of usable cannabis and grow up to 12 plants. In 2022, the state went rec, allowing anyone 21 and older to purchase and possess up to 1 ounce of cannabis for personal use. Residents are also allowed to grow up to six plants at home, with a limit of three mature plants at a time. The best part is that recreational dispensaries are already running, so you'll have easy access to them when you visit.\n\n[Vermont](https:\/\/legislature.vermont.gov\/statutes\/section\/18\/084\/04230) has had medical marijuana since 2004 and chose to legalize recreational weed in 2020. Now, you can apply to be a medical patient and purchase or possess up to 2 ounces of weed at a time. You can also grow up to 9 plants as long as you only have two mature ones at a time. On the recreational side, you're allowed to buy and possess up to one ounce and grow up to 6 plants, as long as only two are flowering at a time. Vermont is an excellent state to visit because of its solid medical program and relaxed recreational laws.\n\nThings moved fast in [Virginia](https:\/\/law.lis.virginia.gov\/vacode\/title4.1\/chapter11\/section4.1-1100\/). Shortly after adopting a medical marijuana program in 2018, the state voted to go fully recreational in 2021. That said, both medical and recreational cannabis are available for purchase in Virginia. Adults 21 and older can possess up to 1 ounce of cannabis and grow up to four plants for personal use, as long as the plants are hidden from public view. The medical marijuana program allows patients to possess a 90-day supply of total cannabis products and broadens authorization for medical marijuana use for any qualifying medical condition.\n\n[Washington](https:\/\/doh.wa.gov\/sites\/default\/files\/2022-02\/608035.pdf?uid=62709ab26d2a1) was one of the very first states to adopt recreational cannabis back in 2012. The state has always had a positive outlook on weed, though; it adopted medical marijuana back in 1998. For recreational users, you just have to be 21 to purchase, and you can possess up to an ounce of dried marijuana, 16 ounces of infused edibles, 72 ounces of infused liquids, or 7 grams of concentrates. The medical marijuana program was established in 1998 through Initiative 692, allowing patients to possess up to 8 ounces of usable marijuana and grow up to 6 plants.","meta_canonical":null}

For instance, a first offense for possession can lead to a fine of up to \$1,000 and/or imprisonment of up to 6 months. Cultivation and sale carry severe penalties as well, with fines reaching up to \$25,000 and imprisonment for several years or more, depending on the quantity involved. Paraphernalia related to marijuana use is also prohibited and can result in fines or imprisonment. - ![](https://theherblifestyle.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/Flag_of_Wyoming.svg) ![](https://theherblifestyle.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/Flag_of_Wyoming.svg) Wyoming - Medical use: Illegal - Recreational: No - ![](https://theherblifestyle.com/wp-content/themes/astra-child/images/copy-icon.png) ![](https://theherblifestyle.com/wp-content/themes/astra-child/images/copy-icon.png) Like Wisconsin, [Wyoming](https://wyoleg.gov/Legislation/2023/HB0108) is anti-weed and doesn't have medical or recreational marijuana laws, and there are no decriminalization rules for possession or use. Possession of any amount of marijuana is considered a misdemeanor, with penalties ranging from fines to imprisonment. Possession of three ounces or less can result in up to 12 months imprisonment and a fine of up to \$1,000. In comparison, possessing more than three ounces is a felony, punishable by up to 5 years imprisonment and a maximum \$10,000 fine. Possession of hash and concentrates follows similar laws, with misdemeanor charges for smaller amounts and felony charges for larger quantities. Paraphernalia related to marijuana use is also prohibited, and the delivery of paraphernalia to minors can lead to felony charges. Additionally, there are enhanced penalties for offenses committed near schools or involving distribution to minors. Moral of the story: don't drive through Wyoming if you have medical or recreational weed from any of the states that surround it. You'll get into trouble. - ![](https://theherblifestyle.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/Flag_of_Alabama.svg) ![](https://theherblifestyle.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/Flag_of_Alabama.svg) Alabama - Medical use: Legal - Recreational: No - ![](https://theherblifestyle.com/wp-content/themes/astra-child/images/copy-icon.png) ![](https://theherblifestyle.com/wp-content/themes/astra-child/images/copy-icon.png) In [Alabama](https://amcc.alabama.gov/patients/), medical marijuana was legalized in 2021 through Senate Bill 46. The program allows residents who are 19 and older, or under 19 with guardian permission, with one of 16 qualifying medical conditions, to purchase medical marijuana with a doctor's recommendation. However, medical marijuana remains unavailable as of now due to delays in the development of rules and disputes over the selection process. The approved forms of medical marijuana include pills, skin patches, and creams, but smoking or vaping products are not allowed. As of now, possession limits and travel laws for medical marijuana patients from other states remain to be established, while cultivation laws have not been specified. For now, things are still getting worked out in Alabama. Recreational cannabis remains illegal in Alabama, with no significant movement towards legalization in the near future - ![](https://theherblifestyle.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/Flag_of_Arkansas.svg) ![](https://theherblifestyle.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/Flag_of_Arkansas.svg) Arkansas - Medical use: Legal - Recreational: No - ![](https://theherblifestyle.com/wp-content/themes/astra-child/images/copy-icon.png) ![](https://theherblifestyle.com/wp-content/themes/astra-child/images/copy-icon.png) [Arkansas](https://www.healthy.arkansas.gov/programs-services/topics/medical-marijuana-faq) voters approved Ballot Measure Issue 6 in 2016, legalizing medical marijuana in the state. Patients over the age of 18 with a qualifying medical condition or verified caregivers can possess up to 2.5oz (ounces) of cannabis for medical use every 14 days. To purchase cannabis, patients need to have a state-issued medical marijuana I.D. card, which requires a physician's written certification and a state I.D. Recreational weed is however highly illegal. - ![](https://theherblifestyle.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/Flag_of_Florida.svg) ![](https://theherblifestyle.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/Flag_of_Florida.svg) Florida - Medical use: Legal - Recreational: No - ![](https://theherblifestyle.com/wp-content/themes/astra-child/images/copy-icon.png) ![](https://theherblifestyle.com/wp-content/themes/astra-child/images/copy-icon.png) Medical marijuana was legalized in [Florida](http://www.leg.state.fl.us/statutes/index.cfm?App_mode=Display_Statute&URL=0300-0399/0381/Sections/0381.986.html) when Ballot Amendment 2 passed in 2016. Patients age 18 or older can qualify for a compassionate care medical program if they have a doctor's note and one of twelve qualifying conditions. Patients can obtain a medical marijuana card from licensed physicians, who are restricted from certifying more than three 70-day supply limits of marijuana or more than six 35-day supply limits, specifically for smokable products, which must be 2.5 ounces or less. As of this month, Florida is strongly considering putting recreational cannabis on the ballot in November and has already been discussing legislature for the prospective recreational laws. - ![](https://theherblifestyle.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/Flag_of_Hawaii.svg) ![](https://theherblifestyle.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/Flag_of_Hawaii.svg) Hawaii - Medical use: Legal - Recreational: No - ![](https://theherblifestyle.com/wp-content/themes/astra-child/images/copy-icon.png) ![](https://theherblifestyle.com/wp-content/themes/astra-child/images/copy-icon.png) [Hawaii](https://health.hawaii.gov/medicalcannabisregistry/patients/restrictions/) has had a medical marijuana program since they passed Senate Bill 862 way back in 2000. Patients and caregivers in-state can purchase up to 4 ounces of marijuana from a dispensary and cultivate up to 10 plants at home, provided they register as cultivators with the state. Residents must be 18 or older, have one of 15 qualifying conditions, and possess a medical marijuana card. Interestingly, out-of-state visitors can also register to obtain medical cannabis while visiting Hawaii. These visitors can apply online for a 60-day registration card and pay a \$49.50 fee to access dispensaries. While medical is working well in Hawaii, the state also has its sights set on going recreational. The Senate recently approved Senate Bill 3335, but it is currently awaiting action in the House, which has thwarted recreational legislature many times in the past. Time will tell if Hawaii will go recreational in 2024. - ![](https://theherblifestyle.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/Flag_of_Kentucky.svg) ![](https://theherblifestyle.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/Flag_of_Kentucky.svg) Kentucky - Medical use: Legal - Recreational: No - ![](https://theherblifestyle.com/wp-content/themes/astra-child/images/copy-icon.png) ![](https://theherblifestyle.com/wp-content/themes/astra-child/images/copy-icon.png) Currently, recreational marijuana remains illegal in [Kentucky](https://kymedcan.ky.gov/laws-and-regulations/Pages/default.aspx), and cultivation of marijuana is strictly prohibited. However, the state is actively working on establishing its medical marijuana program. Kentucky passed Senate Bill 47 in March 2023, allowing for a medical program to be established. However, you won't see any dispensaries out there until around 2025. Patients with a diagnosis from the list of 21 approved conditions will be allowed to possess up to a 30-day supply of medical marijuana, with exact limits still being established. In the meantime, patients can possess up to 8 ounces of marijuana, but it has to come from a state where weed is fully legal, meaning Illinois, Ohio, and Virginia. The issue with that is that you'll have to abide by each state's laws to ensure you're not transporting more than your legal limit in other states. - ![](https://theherblifestyle.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/Flag_of_Louisiana.svg) ![](https://theherblifestyle.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/Flag_of_Louisiana.svg) Louisiana - Medical use: Legal - Recreational: No - ![](https://theherblifestyle.com/wp-content/themes/astra-child/images/copy-icon.png) ![](https://theherblifestyle.com/wp-content/themes/astra-child/images/copy-icon.png) [Louisiana](https://ldh.la.gov/page/medical-marijuana) permits medical marijuana use with a verified medical card indicating a recommendation from a doctor.

However, there are no provisions for recreational marijuana use in the state for now. While possession of marijuana outside of medical purposes remains illegal, Louisiana has decriminalized its possession for small amounts. This means that if you have under a certain amount of weed on you, you won't get into legal trouble, but you still might face civil fines or drug treatment. - ![](https://theherblifestyle.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/Flag_of_Mississippi.svg) ![](https://theherblifestyle.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/Flag_of_Mississippi.svg) Mississippi - Medical use: Legal - Recreational: No - ![](https://theherblifestyle.com/wp-content/themes/astra-child/images/copy-icon.png) ![](https://theherblifestyle.com/wp-content/themes/astra-child/images/copy-icon.png) [Mississippi](https://www.mmcp.ms.gov/faq) recently established its medical marijuana program in 2022, and dispensaries are already open for business. Card-carrying patients over 18 years old can purchase up to 3.5 grams of cannabis flower or 1 gram of cannabis concentrate per day from a licensed dispensary, but no more than 24 days per month. Minors, with permission from a parent or legal guardian, can also obtain a card through a doctor. However, residents with prior criminal convictions may not qualify for the program. While medical marijuana is legal, recreational use is still illegal. However, Mississippi has decriminalized small amounts of weed, meaning that if you get caught with less than a certain amount of weed, you likely won't get into criminal trouble but might still face a fine or drug counseling. - ![](https://theherblifestyle.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/Flag_of_New_Hampshire.svg) ![](https://theherblifestyle.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/Flag_of_New_Hampshire.svg) New Hampshire - Medical use: Legal - Recreational: No - ![](https://theherblifestyle.com/wp-content/themes/astra-child/images/copy-icon.png) ![](https://theherblifestyle.com/wp-content/themes/astra-child/images/copy-icon.png) [New Hampshire](https://newhampshirecannabis.org/medical) has had an established medical marijuana program since 2013, though recreational marijuana hasn't been established. With the medical program comes a little bit more of a relaxed attitude towards cannabis. Small amounts of cannabis for personal use are decriminalized, but anything over those limits might get you small fines or drug counseling.

To qualify, patients must be over 19 years old and get a doctor's note saying that cannabis might help them with one of 31 qualifying conditions.

Residents voted to legalize a medical program in 2018 through Ballot Question 788. The good news is that the bill offered significant possession and cultivation allowances. Medical patients aged 18 or older are allowed to possess up to 8 ounces of weed at home, 3 ounces on their person, and an ounce of concentrated cannabis at home. Additionally, they can have up to 72 ounces of edibles. Cultivation is also allowed, with patients allowed to grow up to six plants, including six mature and six immature plants. However, non-medical marijuana remains illegal, and you can face prosecution for possession outside of the medical framework. Oklahoma does not have reciprocity laws accepting medical patients from other states, so your out-of-state medical card won't work at Oklahoma dispensaries. - ![](https://theherblifestyle.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/Flag_of_Pennsylvania.svg) ![](https://theherblifestyle.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/Flag_of_Pennsylvania.svg) Pennsylvania - Medical use: Legal - Recreational: No - ![](https://theherblifestyle.com/wp-content/themes/astra-child/images/copy-icon.png) ![](https://theherblifestyle.com/wp-content/themes/astra-child/images/copy-icon.png) [Pennsylvania](https://www.pa.gov/guides/pennsylvania-medical-marijuana-program/) legalized medical marijuana in 2016 through Senate Bill 3.

While exact dosage limits are not specified in the law, patients are capped at a 30-day supply, which is determined by their recommending doctor. However, marijuana remains illegal for non-medical use in Pennsylvania, and you can still get into a lot of trouble for possessing weed without your medical card.

You must be 21 or older and have a qualifying medical condition to apply for a card, which you'll have to renew every six months. Your doctor or state-licensed pharmacist will work with you to determine how much a one-month supply would be to manage your condition, though the max you'll be able to obtain is up to 4 ounces of cannabis flower or 20 grams of THC. Some products are also illegal, including edibles, with consumption limited to methods such as vaping, tablets, capsules, and oils. You are allowed to grow weed as a medical patient, but you can only have up to 113 grams of unprocessed, wet flower at any given time. Unfortunately, Utah also doesn't decriminalize non-medical marijuana use, so you can still get in trouble for weed if you don't have a medical card. - ![](https://theherblifestyle.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/Flag_of_West_Virginia.svg) ![](https://theherblifestyle.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/Flag_of_West_Virginia.svg) West Virginia - Medical use: Legal - Recreational: No - ![](https://theherblifestyle.com/wp-content/themes/astra-child/images/copy-icon.png) ![](https://theherblifestyle.com/wp-content/themes/astra-child/images/copy-icon.png) [West Virginia](https://omc.wv.gov/rules/Pages/default.aspx) is still medical only, and unfortunately, it still has pretty strict rules.

However, dispensaries are prohibited from selling edibles, dabs, or whole flowers since smoking weed is still illegal.

Later, in 2014, recreational use was legalized in 2014 through Ballot Measure 2. Adults over the age of 21 can legally use and possess up to an ounce of marijuana for recreational purposes. However, consuming cannabis in public remains illegal and can result in a fine of up to \$100. Additionally, adults are allowed to cultivate up to six marijuana plants per household, with a limit of three mature plants. In [Arizona](https://azdor.gov/business/transaction-privilege-tax/adult-use-marijuana), marijuana laws allow for both medical and recreational use. Proposition 203, passed in 2010, legalized medical marijuana, allowing patients to possess up to 2.5 ounces of usable marijuana every 14 days and cultivate up to 12 plants. Additionally, adults aged 21 and over can legally use, possess, and purchase up to 1 ounce of marijuana, with restrictions on marijuana concentrates. However, smoking or vaping marijuana in public remains illegal. Better yet, adults are allowed to grow up to six plants at home. [California](https://cannabis.ca.gov/cannabis-laws/laws-and-regulations/) was one of the first states to accept cannabis for medical patients, and they've been paving the way for the culture ever since. Proposition 215 passed in 1996, allowing for medical marijuana use. However, cannabis was legalized for recreational use in 2016. Adults over the age of 21 can legally purchase and possess up to 1 ounce of cannabis or up to 8 grams of concentrated cannabis for recreational use. However, for medicinal use with a doctor's note, the age requirement drops to 18, and you'll get higher possession limits. Adults are allowed to cultivate up to six cannabis plants at home, although cultivation requirements may vary by city and county. It's important to note that marijuana use in public spaces remains illegal in California. [Colorado](https://cannabis.colorado.gov/legal-marijuana-use/laws-about-marijuana-use) was one of the first states to go rec in 2012, but they started by passing Ballot Amendment 20 in 2000, allowing for medical marijuana use. Adults with a valid I.D. over the age of 21 can purchase and possess up to 1 ounce of marijuana, 8 grams of marijuana concentrate, or marijuana products containing up to 800 milligrams of THC in a single transaction.
