US cannabis laws, state by state

Comprehensive AMCC medical program (Darren Wesley "Ato" Hall Compassion Act, 2021); first licensed dispensary sales began June 4, 2026. Non-smokable forms only. No adult-use legalization exists or is pending.

Possession

Patients: ≤70 daily doses (~60-day supply), 50mg THC/dose (up to 75mg after 90d). Non-patients: any amount = Class A misdemeanor (≤1 yr/$6,000)

Decriminalized

No

Home cultivation

NoIllegal for everyone, including registered patients; supply comes only from AMCC-licensed cultivators/dispensaries. Unauthorized cultivation is prosecuted as trafficking/felony cannabis offenses.

Medical reciprocity

NoNo reciprocity. Purchases require Alabama residency, age 19+, a qualifying condition, a certified-physician recommendation, and enrollment in the AMCC patient registry. Out-of-state medical cards are not recognized.

Verified 2026-07-03

Adult-use legal since Ballot Measure 2 (Feb 2015, AS 17.38); retail sales began Oct 2016. Medical registry (AS 17.37, since 1998) is residents-only and largely superseded. Public consumption remains an offense (fine up to $100).

Possession

Adults 21+: up to 1 oz cannabis (up to 4 oz at private residence) + 7 g concentrate; 6 plants (≤3 mature)/adult, 12 (≤6) per household.

Decriminalized

Yes

Home cultivation

YesStatewide right for adults 21+: 6 plants (≤3 mature) per person, 12 (≤6 mature) per shared residence, kept secure and out of public view (AS 17.38.020–.030). Local opt-outs apply only to commercial licenses, not personal home-grow.

Medical reciprocity

NoAlaska's medical registry (AS 17.37) issues ID cards to residents only; out-of-state medical cards are not honored at dispensaries or for added possession protection. Largely moot since any adult 21+ can already purchase and possess.

Verified 2026-07-03

Adult-use legal since Prop 207 (Nov 2020); licensed retail since Jan 2021. Comprehensive medical program (AMMA) also active. No rollback through 2026.

Possession

Adults 21+: up to 1 oz (28 g) usable, of which ≤5 g may be concentrate. Medical patients: 2.5 oz per 14 days.

Decriminalized

Yes

Home cultivation

YesAny adult 21+ may grow 6 plants (12/residence with 2+ adults) in an enclosed, locked, non-public-view area statewide, with no distance rule (§36-2852). The 25-mile-from-dispensary limit applies only to MEDICAL (AMMA) grows.

Medical reciprocity

VariesA "visiting qualifying patient" with a valid out-of-state card gets AZ possession/use protection (2.5 oz) but CANNOT buy at dispensaries or get the medical tax exemption. Largely moot, since any adult 21+ can buy recreationally.

Verified 2026-07-03

Amendment 98 medical-only; adult-use rejected at the ballot (Issue 4, 2022) and Issue 3 (2024) votes voided by the AR Supreme Court.

Possession

Patients: 2.5 oz usable/rolling 14 days via dispensary. Non-patients: any amount criminal; <4 oz = Class A misdemeanor (up to 1 yr / $2,500)

Decriminalized

No

Home cultivation

NoAmendment 98 confines cultivation to licensed facilities; patients/caregivers cannot grow. Issue 3 (2024) would have added a 14-plant patient home-grow but the AR Supreme Court ordered its votes uncounted, so no change.

Medical reciprocity

YesAmendment 98 recognizes out-of-state cards for "visiting qualifying patients" if the condition also qualifies in AR. Requires a $50 nonrefundable Visiting Patient application, valid 90 days, to purchase/possess (same 2.5 oz limit).

Verified 2026-07-03

Possession

Up to 28.5 g (1 oz) flower and 8 g concentrate for adults 21+; no penalty within limits (Health & Safety Code § 11362.1)

Decriminalized

Yes

Home cultivation

YesUp to 6 living plants per residence (any number of adults 21+), in a locked area not publicly visible. Localities may reasonably regulate but cannot ban indoor grows. Medical patients may exceed 6 with a physician recommendation.

Medical reciprocity

NoCalifornia does not recognize out-of-state medical cards; its MMIC program (SB 420) is CA-residents-only. Largely moot: any adult 21+, resident or visitor, may buy and possess adult-use quantities regardless of medical status.

Verified 2026-07-03

Adult use legal since Amendment 64 (2012); a comprehensive medical program also exists.

Possession

Adults 21+: up to 2 oz cannabis (incl. concentrate), no penalty; 2–6 oz or ≤3 oz concentrate = level 2 misdemeanor. Public use barred.

Decriminalized

Yes

Home cultivation

YesStatewide right (Colo. Const. art. XVIII §16 / CRS 18-18-406): 6 plants per adult 21+ (max 3 flowering), 12-plant household cap, indoor enclosed & locked. Localities may set stricter caps (e.g. Denver).

Medical reciprocity

NoColorado dispensaries do not honor out-of-state medical cards. Visiting adults 21+ may instead purchase recreationally (up to 2 oz possession; 1 oz flower equivalent per retail transaction).

Verified 2026-07-03

Home cultivation

YesSince 7/1/2023, adults 21+ may grow up to 6 plants each (max 3 mature), capped at 12 per household. Indoor only, not visible from a public place, and secured from access by minors.

Medical reciprocity

NoCT's Medical Marijuana Program (DCP) is resident-only; out-of-state medical cards are not recognized for dispensary purchase or patient possession protections. Adults 21+ still get adult-use rights regardless of residency.

Verified 2026-07-03

Adult use (21+) legal since April 2023 (HB 1/HB 2); regulated retail market went live statewide Aug. 1, 2025 and is still expanding. Comprehensive medical program also operates.

Possession

Up to 1 oz leaf cannabis, 12 g concentrate, or products with ≤750 mg delta-9-THC (21+)

Decriminalized

Yes

Home cultivation

NoProhibited statewide for both recreational and medical users; all cannabis must be bought from licensed stores. A "Patient Right to Grow Act" (HB 243) allowing patient/caregiver home-grow has been introduced but is not law.

Medical reciprocity

YesOut-of-state medical cards recognized, but visiting patients must first register online and pay a ~$20 fee for a temporary DE reciprocity ID before a medical purchase; it is not automatic. (Any adult 21+ may also buy at adult-use retail.)

Verified 2026-07-03

Possession/home-grow legal since 2015 (Initiative 71); federal Harris rider (through FY2026) still bars licensed adult-use retail, so legal purchase runs via the medical program, and residents 21+ self-certify with no doctor needed.

Possession

Up to 2 oz flower legal (21+); gift/transfer ≤1 oz without payment allowed; sales illegal; >2 oz is a misdemeanor (≤6 mo / ≤$1,000)

Decriminalized

Yes

Home cultivation

YesAdults 21+ may grow up to 6 plants (max 3 mature) each, capped at 12 (max 6 mature) per household of two or more eligible adults, at their residence and out of public view. No license, registration, or fee (Initiative 71).

Medical reciprocity

YesABCA recognizes valid cards from ~38 states/territories (no fee) at DC retailers; cardless non-residents can register temporarily for $30. DC residents 21+ may also self-certify, with no doctor or qualifying condition.

Verified 2026-07-03

Comprehensive medical program (Fla. Stat. §381.986); adult-use Amendment 3 won 56% in Nov 2024 but missed FL's 60% threshold, so no legal recreational use.

Possession

Patients: ≤4 oz smokable (2.5 oz/35-day cap). Non-patients: ≤20 g = misdemeanor (≤1 yr/$1k); >20 g = felony (≤5 yr/$5k)

Decriminalized

No

Home cultivation

NoIllegal for everyone, including registered patients and caregivers; only licensed MMTCs may cultivate. Unlicensed cultivation is a 3rd-degree felony (≤5 yrs, $5,000). A 2025 patient home-grow bill (SB 546) died in committee.

Medical reciprocity

NoFlorida honors no other state's medical card and has no visitor registration. Out-of-staters may instead qualify as "seasonal residents" (30+ consecutive days/yr in FL) to obtain their own FL card.

Verified 2026-07-03

SB 220 (eff. 7/1/2026) removed the 5% THC cap and legalized whole-flower/vaporization and vape products at licensed dispensaries/pharmacies, making this a comprehensive medical program now, not just low-THC oil. No adult-use legality.

Possession

Patients: ≤12,000 mg total THC (≤1,200 mg/pkg); 5% cap gone 7/1/26. Non-patients: ≤1 oz = misdemeanor (≤12 mo/$1,000); >1 oz = felony (1–10 yrs).

Decriminalized

No

Home cultivation

NoNo home grow for anyone, including registered patients. Only state-licensed Hope Act / GMCC production licensees may cultivate; personal cultivation remains a felony statewide regardless of registry status.

Medical reciprocity

VariesPossession only, not purchase. An out-of-state card (O.C.G.A. §16-12-191) lets a visitor POSSESS under 45 days if it matches GA possession terms. GA dispensaries sell only to registered GA patients.

Verified 2026-07-03

Comprehensive medical program (HRS ch. 329, Part IX) plus decrim of trace amounts; NO adult-use law. The 2026 Senate legalization/low-dose bills again died in the House.

Possession

Decriminalized

Yes

Home cultivation

YesRegistered in-state patients (or caregiver) may grow up to 10 plants total, combined, only at the DOH address on file. Out-of-state/temporary 329 patients may NOT cultivate.

Medical reciprocity

YesOut-of-state MMJ cardholders must obtain a temporary Hawaii 329 registration ($49.50, valid up to 60 days, renewable once per calendar year) before purchasing; a home-state card alone is not honored, and out-of-state patients cannot grow.

Verified 2026-07-03

Sole lawful cannabis-derived product is Epidiolex, an FDA-approved prescription CBD drug for intractable epilepsy, not a state medical program. Idaho (with Kansas) requires 0.0% THC in CBD, so no low-THC product regime exists.

Possession

≤3 oz: misdemeanor, min $300 fine, ≤1 yr jail/$1k; >3 oz–1 lb: felony ≤5 yr/$10k; ≥1 lb or 25 plants: trafficking, min 1 yr prison

Decriminalized

No

Home cultivation

NoNo lawful home cultivation for any purpose statewide; any grow is prosecutable, and 25+ plants triggers mandatory-minimum trafficking penalties (§37-2732B: min 1 yr prison + $5,000 fine).

Medical reciprocity

NoIdaho has no medical cannabis program, so there is nothing to reciprocate with; an out-of-state medical card provides no possession or purchase protection in Idaho.

Verified 2026-07-03

Adult-use legal since Jan 1, 2020 (Cannabis Regulation and Tax Act, 410 ILCS 705); comprehensive medical program since 2014 (Compassionate Use Act). Possession limits doubled by SB 3222, signed June 12, 2026.

Possession

Residents 21+: 60 g flower / 10 g concentrate / cannabis-infused product ≤1,000 mg THC. Non-residents 21+: 30 g / 5 g / 500 mg (per SB 3222, eff. 6/12/2026).

Decriminalized

Yes

Home cultivation

VariesOnly registered medical patients may home-grow: up to 5 plants (>5 in.) per household, in a locked space not publicly visible. Recreational-only adults 21+ may NOT cultivate. No recreational home-grow bill has passed.

Medical reciprocity

NoIllinois does not recognize out-of-state medical cannabis cards (IL DPH); out-of-state patients must buy as adult-use customers. Largely moot since adult-use possession is legal statewide for anyone 21+.

Verified 2026-07-03

No medical or recreational cannabis program exists. Only hemp-derived CBD / "low THC hemp extract" (≤0.3% total delta-9 THC) is sold at general retail under the hemp exemption; it is not a patient-specific low-THC medical program.

Possession

Any amount = Class B misdemeanor (≤180 days, $1,000); Class A misdemeanor w/ prior drug conviction; Level 6 felony only if prior AND ≥30g (IC 35-48-4-11)

Decriminalized

No

Home cultivation

NoGrowing or cultivating cannabis (any amount) is charged as the same Class B misdemeanor as possession under IC 35-48-4-11; no home-grow allowance exists for anyone.

Medical reciprocity

NoIndiana has no medical cannabis program to reciprocate into; an out-of-state medical card confers no possession or purchase protection in Indiana.

Verified 2026-07-03

Medical Cannabidiol Act (ch. 124E): 11 conditions plus petition process; allows THC products capped at 4.5g THC/90 days but bans smokable flower and high-THC edibles. No adult-use or decriminalization.

Possession

Non-patient 1st offense: serious misdemeanor, up to 6 mo jail + up to $1,000 (2nd aggravated misd., 3rd+ Class D felony). Patients: 4.5g THC/90 days.

Decriminalized

No

Home cultivation

NoHome grow is prohibited statewide for everyone, including registered patients and caregivers under ch. 124E; all product must come from Iowa's licensed manufacturers/dispensaries.

Medical reciprocity

VariesPer §124E.12, an out-of-state cardholder has an affirmative defense for POSSESSION only if the product form is Iowa-legal (no flower, no high-THC edibles); no defense otherwise, and no right to PURCHASE at Iowa dispensaries.

Verified 2026-07-03

No medical or adult-use program; one of two states (with Idaho) with no legal access. Claire and Lola's Law is affirmative-defense-only for ≤5% THC CBD, not lawful possession, so not low_thc.

Possession

Any amount: Class B misdemeanor, ≤6mo jail + ≤$1,000 (1st); Class A misd. (2nd); drug severity lvl 5 felony (3rd+) (K.S.A. 21-5706)

Decriminalized

No

Home cultivation

NoAll cultivation illegal, no medical/adult-use carve-out. Under K.S.A. 21-5705: 5–49 plants = drug severity level 3 felony; 50–99 = level 2; 100+ = level 1 felony.

Medical reciprocity

NoNo medical program exists, so no reciprocity. Kansas recognizes no out-of-state medical cards; Claire and Lola's Law offers only a trial affirmative defense for low-THC CBD, not card recognition or in-state supply.

Verified 2026-07-03

Comprehensive medical program under KRS Ch. 218B (SB47, 2023); licensed dispensary sales began Jan 2026. No adult-use legalization; 2026 decrim/home-grow bill HB198 died without a hearing.

Possession

Decriminalized

No

Home cultivation

NoProhibited for everyone, including registered patients and caregivers; KRS Ch. 218B contains no home-grow provision, and all medical cannabis must be bought from state-licensed dispensaries.

Medical reciprocity

VariesKY doesn't honor out-of-state cards at the register. KRS 218B.025 offers a "visiting qualified patient" pathway: hold a valid out-of-state card, register with KY ($25), and have a condition on KY's list; that earns a 10-day supply.

Verified 2026-07-03

Comprehensive medical program under RS 40:1046 (est. 2015; whole-flower added 2021) via state-licensed pharmacies. No adult-use legalization. Possession separately reduced to fine-only in 2021 (HB 652/Act 247).

Decriminalized

Yes

Home cultivation

NoIllegal for patients and general public alike. RS 40:1046 limits production to state-licensed producers (LSU / Southern University AgCenter successors); patients must buy from licensed medical-cannabis pharmacies only.

Medical reciprocity

YesRS 40:1046.1 (HB 135, 2022) lets a visiting patient with a valid out-of-state card + qualifying condition buy at LA pharmacies; Act 439 (2022) grants prosecution immunity. Statewide, covers both purchase and possession.

Yes

Home cultivation

YesAdults 21+ may grow up to 6 mature + 12 immature plants + unlimited seedlings at their residence (28-B §1502), with tagging, non-visibility, and under-21 access rules. 6-mature cap reflects a 2023 amendment (PL 2023 c.220; was 3).

Medical reciprocity

VariesMMMA §4(k) (MCL 333.26424) gives a valid out-of-state medical card "the same force and effect" as a MI card for a visiting patient (possession/use protection); dispensaries need not sell to it. Moot: any 21+ adult can buy retail.

Verified 2026-07-03

Comprehensive MMCP medical program (full-spectrum flower/concentrate/infused) operating since 2022. No adult-use legalization; 2026 legalization bills died. SEO claims of a 2026 recreational "Reform Act" are false.

Decriminalized

No

Home cultivation

NoNo lawful home cultivation for anyone. The Epilepsy Alternative Treatment Act exempts only possession/use of already-manufactured hemp extract, not growing plants; no adult-use or patient grow exists statewide.

Medical reciprocity

NoNC has no medical-cannabis card program, so there is nothing to reciprocate. The sole exemption (hemp extract for epilepsy) needs an NC neurologist's recommendation; an out-of-state card confers no protection.

Medical reciprocity

NoSD dispensaries do not honor other states' cards. Nonresidents with a qualifying home-state condition can instead register with SD DOH as a "nonresident cardholder" (same 3 oz cap); that is a registration process, not simple reciprocity.
