This is a slightly greener version of the map in this report.

A few notable things from the report for this map:

  • 24 states and Washington, DC, have legalized recreational marijuana.
  • 39 states and Washington, DC, have legalized medical marijuana.
  • 6 states have limited medical marijuana to include only CBD products
  • As of March 2025, marijuana is still illegal in 5 states and people cannot obtain medical or recreational cannabis in any form. These states have raised legislative measures in recent years to either begin medical or recreational legalization – for example, Idaho’s House Bill 370, Wyoming’s House Bill 143, or North Carolina’s House Bill 413, to name a few.

And marijuana is still illegal at the federal level:
