MARIJUANA Status as of 2024

State-Approved MARIJUANA LAWS

Marijuana (Cannabis) remains illegal under U.S. federal law as a Schedule I substance, deemed to have high abuse potential and no accepted medical use. However, many state laws differ—some permit medical use with a doctor’s recommendation, others allow adult use and commercial sales, and some prohibit it entirely. The map below outlines where marijuana is legal for medical use, adult use, or not at all.

MARIJUANA Status as of 2024

DRUG-IMPAIRED DRIVING LAWS

Marijuana is the most common illicit drug found in impaired drivers, often alongside alcohol (JAMA, 2018). As more states legalize high-potency marijuana, concerns about drug-impaired driving are growing. Unlike alcohol, drug-impaired driving laws vary by state, and there is no nationally accepted impairment standard for marijuana due to limited clinical research. Below is a map showing states that have legalized marijuana and their drug-impaired driving laws as of June 2020.
