New laws no in effect after advocacy, activism, and support, dozens of weed laws took effect around the country this month:
In the following places, there's no more need to hide the weed.
- In Maryland, cannabis possession, personal cultivation, and retail sales are now legal
- In Connecticut, adults may now cultivate marijuana at home for personal use
- In New Hampshire, out-of-state patients are now able to access state-licensed medical dispensaries
- In California and Louisiana, efforts to expunge thousands of prior cannabis offenses are underway
- In Maine, legislation limiting the ability for those on probation to be drug tested for cannabis has become law
And, earlier this year, Delaware and Minnesota legalized adult-use marijuana and Kentucky legalized medical cannabis. We couldn’t have made such incredible progress without your support. Thank you.
There are still critical efforts underway around the country
- In Ohio, a marijuana legalization bill is currently awaiting a committee hearing and subsequent vote
- In North Carolina, medical cannabis legalization legislation is gaining momentum
- In California, Connecticut, Maine, and New Jersey legislatures are working to establish social venues where legal cannabis may be consumed privately by patients and of-age adults
- In California and Pennsylvania, bills expanding access to medical cannabis program are awaiting legislative action
