are there states where marijuana is legal?

Answer 1

Since 1996, eleven states have legalized medical marijuana use: AK, AZ, CA, CO, HI, ME, NV, OR, RI, VT and WA. Eight of the ten did so through the initiative process, Hawaii's law was enacted by the legislature and signed by the governor in 2000, Vermont's was enacted by the legislature and passed into law without the governor's signature in May 2004, and Rhode Island's was enacted overriding the governor's veto in January 2006.

There are no states that have legalized NON-MEDICAL marijuana use.

Answer 2

As many have stated, only for medical purposes and then the Feds occasionally go after them also because the Federal Laws supercede the states.

There are places where marijuana has been "decriminalized" and simple possesion is a ticket.

Seattle and I think a few other cities have formally made marijuana a "lowest priority" in that the police have been told by the City Council to go after a jaywalker before a marijuana smoker.

Answer 3

For medical purposes, there are a few. I don't think that there is any state where it is legal to smoke marijuana for recreation. This would violate Federal law which would supersede any state law.

Answer 4

California, Oregon, and Alaska.
To an extent, like medicals reasons. And i think in Alaska, if you do it in your house, and not in public, the police can't do nothing. but check just in case.

Answer 5

In Alaska, it is legal to posess a small amount, but not to sell it.

Answer 6

Oregon and California (for medical reasons) ~
