Adult Use

"Adult use" refers to the legal ability for adults, typically 21 and over, to buy, possess, and use certain substances—most commonly cannabis—without requiring a medical license. It indicates that the substance has been approved for recreational, non-medical purposes under state or local laws. This legal recognition allows regulated sales and consumption, aiming to reduce illegal markets, ensure product safety, and generate tax revenue. Adult use laws vary by jurisdiction, so it's important to understand local regulations regarding possession limits, public consumption, and licensing.
