Legalized Medical Marijuana & Decriminalized Marijuana States

There are 16 states that have enacted laws to legalize medical marijuana, also referenced to as decriminalizing marijuana. These states include Alaska, Arizona, California, Colorado, DC, Delaware, Hawaii, Maine, Michigan, Montana, Nevada, New Jersy, New Mexico, Oregon, Rhode Island, Vermont, and Washington. The first state to legalize medical marijuana or decriminalize marijuana, as we would all expect, was California in 1996. Immediately following California's new marijuana laws were Alaska, Washington, and Oregon in 1998. Maine soon followed the new marijuana law accepting states in 1999. Arizona, New Jersey, and DC joined into the losing battle in the War on Drugs in 2010. Delaware also decided to take the leap this year and many more states are currently petitioning to change their state laws. Although the laws have limits, as always, it's best to appreciate what you have rather than cry about what you don't.. especially if you're living in one of these 16 states! The laws have limits as to how much an individual can carry at a given time, such as 1 oz (1 ounce) in Alaska, Montana, and Nevada. There are also states that allow up to 24 ounces of marijuana to be in posession at one time per individual such as Oregon and Washington.

  1. Thanks for publishing this blog. More states are banned herbal incense because of its effect but I think herbal incense was a helpful one in some cases. I've searched Herb9.com that gives more details on legal buds.
