State Marijuana Cultivation Information

Several states allow individuals to grow marijuana plants for personal use and mandate how marijuana may be ingested (orally or smoked).

The rules and regulations for marijuana change rapidly. This chart is current as of the date I wrote it, but adjusters should be familiar with their state’s rules. I cannot guarantee the accuracy of the list. Because laws and regulations can change without notice, an attorney should be contacted if there are any questions regarding this chart. These materials are provided for informational and educational purposes only and do not constitute legal advice or legal opinions because I am not an attorney.
