Marijuana Legality by State 2025

Cannabis’s legal standing varies from country to country, resulting in unique regulatory frameworks concerning its medical and recreational uses. Legislation regarding marijuana in the United States has experienced significant progress, with several states transitioning from complete prohibition to full legalization. As these state laws are susceptible to changes, it is crucial to remain up-to-date on the most recent revisions in marijuana legalization.
It is crucial to specify that RCD exclusively offers cannabis for research purposes only. To aid its end-users, RCD has developed a marijuana legality map that makes it easy for them to verify the state’s legal standing and ensure adherence to state regulations.

What does ‘Decriminalized’ mean?

Decriminalization reduces or eliminates criminal punishments, sometimes replacing them with civil fines or other less severe penalties. In Missouri, possession of up to 10 grams of cannabis has been decriminalized. Although possession is still a criminal misdemeanor, the penalty is a fine rather than jail time, reflecting a reduced punitive approach. However, possession of larger amounts and cultivation remain serious offenses with significant penalties, including potential imprisonment and heavy fines.

What does ‘Mixed’ mean?

This status means cannabis is illegal for recreational use but legal for medical utilization. A prescription or state-approved medical marijuana program can provide cannabis to qualifying patients.

What does ‘Fully Legal’ mean?

Cannabis is permitted for medical and recreational use. Individuals can buy, possess, and consume cannabis without a prescription if they follow state age, amount, and location regulations.

What does ‘Fully illegal’ mean?

This means cannabis is illegal in the state. Cannabis is banned for medical and recreational use, and possession, cultivation, sale, and distribution can lead to prosecution.
