state marijuana laws

State marijuana laws vary widely across the U.S.: some states have legalized recreational use, allowing adults to possess and purchase cannabis, while others only permit medical use for qualified patients. In states where it's legal, there are typically restrictions on possession amounts, age limits, and where you can consume it. Many states retain restrictions on driving under the influence and prohibit sale outside licensed businesses. Federal law still classifies marijuana as illegal, creating potential legal conflicts. It’s important to know and follow your state’s specific regulations to avoid penalties.
