Federal law prohibits marijuana. Although some states may allow a personal amount, or for medical reasons. Use this term (Chronic Condition = Chronic Marijuana). Also depends on the police discretion. some care, some don't.

No where.
Except for medical reasons in some states.
I think only 7 states.
And due to International law, no where else either.
The real question should be, where is it tolerated
California is pretty laid back about it.
Especially in San Fransisco.
There are also places in Australia, India, Afghanistan, Morocco, Nepal, etc.
Outside of the U.S.

no where at all. Doesn't matter if you've got a "prescription" for it or not. It's just that some states, cities, counties have lesser fines/punishments for possession and use of it than others...most have limits on the amount a person has, age of the person and attach other things to it--like previous convictions. Like the city of Denver--a person in possession of less than an ounce would only be facing a misdemeanor charge for possession/use, if they were caught by a Denver city police officer, but if they were caught by any officer who was not from the City of Denver--county, other city, state or federal officers, they would be charged by what ever the standard is for whom ever caught them.

For 1 weekend, there was a block in Washington DC you could go to use it. In Alaska, you can possess up to 1 ounce and not face criminal charges. I think they recently changed that. Some other states have different laws, see here, I don't know how accurate this is: http://norml.org/index.cfm?Group_ID=4516

Some parts of states allows you to have so much on you at one time with out doing anything, Detroit has that rule I think you can have like up 2 joints on you or something like that, it's not legal but they have lightened up on their rules.

GONZO is correct... it's sale or possession is ILLEGAL by federal law... yet a few states like mine (California) have passed laws for "medical use".
San Mateo's DA just recently tried to close those licensed locations, but since they were in compliance with STATE law he couldn't... so he just brought in the DEA.
Another FINE example of the screwed up laws and policies in this country.

Marijuana is not legal, according to federal law, anywhere in the U.S.

no where even with a prescription according to the feds. there are a few states where marijuana is decriminalized or legal for medial purposes on a state level. here is a good link for current state to state laws: http://www.norml.org/index.cfm?Group_ID=4516?290,40

i think it should be legal but the problem with the california plan and why the shops get shut down often is due to ppl going in getting and then coming out and selling it .

nowhere, It is outlawed by federal law. Federal overrules state law. So if a state makes it legal it is still illegal by federal law.
