The states and dates of passage of the law are: Alaska, 1999; California, 1996; Colorado. 2006; Hawaii, 2000; Maine, 1999; Montana, 2004; Nevada, 2000; New Mexico, 2007; Oregon, 1998; Rhode Island, 2006; Vermont, 2004: and Washington, 1996. The U.S. Supreme Court ruled against California's law, so the legality of the laws are questionable. I do live in one of the states above. Our medical marijuana law lists very specific conditions for which it can be prescribed. We are dispensing it in our state if you meet the criteria. Our state's Attorney General has indicated our law is more precise than California's and we will fight any federal attempt to overturn it. However, thus far there has been no challenge and marijuana is being prescribed. Also, despite the Supreme Court's ruling, sheriffs in Northern California are still giving medical marijuana licenses and ignoring users.

Actually there are no states where the medicinal use of the herb is legal.
Even though the states have held their own elections, and many (California, for one) have passed the state laws making it's medicinal use legal, the feds stepped in and said that it's use is still a violation of federal laws, which supersede state laws, so any doctor caught prescribing the herb would essentially risk losing his license to practice medicine.

No. Marijuana maintains to be unlawful below Federal regulation everywhere indoors the U. S.. so far the Feds have not prosecuted guy or female consumers indoors California, yet they had in the event that they chosen to. on the 2d all they are doing is harassing the branch shops in California. exterior of California you would be concern to instantaneous prosecution. managing airport look after practices with marijuana would desire to be an extremely undesirable concept. TSA brokers are federal.

It doesn't matter whether the state makes it legal or not.
Marijuana is illegal under federal laws, so you can still be arrested and prosecuted for violation of federal drug laws, even if your actions are completely legal under the state medical laws.
