What States is Marijuana Legal In?

Marijuana is the most used recreational drug in the United States after alcohol. While it remains illegal in some states, 24 U.S. states have legalized it for recreational use, with 40 states total legalizing it for medical use. Marijuana comes from the hemp plant – also known as THCa flowers – which contains chemicals that produce the side effects of the drug. 

THC is the most well-known cannibal chemical. Cannibal flowers that contain less than 0.3% THC (but with lots of THCa) are legal and some of the best weed you can take for recreational use. Check out our ‘weed is legal’ guide for more on this.
