how many states is weed legal in us
Legality of cannabis by U.S. jurisdiction The medical use of cannabis is legal (with a doctor's recommendation) in 29 states, plus the territories of Guam and Puerto Rico, and the District of Columbia.[2] Seventeen other states have more restrictive laws limiting THC content, for the purpose of allowing access to products that are rich in cannabidiol (CBD), a non-psychoactive component of cannabis.[2] In the 32 U.S. jurisdictions that have passed comprehensive medical cannabis laws, the Rohrabacher–Farr amendment prohibits the Justice Department from prosecuting individuals acting in accordance with those laws.[3]
