The laws around marijuana in the United States can be a complex topic to broach. The legality of using, buying, or growing it can differ from place to place, meaning that those who want to incorporate it in their lifestyle, for personal or medical use, have to be aware of what laws apply to them.
When it comes to the legality of growing marijuana, in particular, it’s important to be aware of the fact that there is not only federal law, which deems marijuana as a dangerous Schedule 1 drug (a classification that has long been deemed outdated and erroneous by most), but there’s also how the states choose to interpret that federal law.
There are plenty of states that acknowledge marijuana as being nowhere near as dangerous as the original classification states. Those states have taken measures to legalize in a variety of ways.
The infographic that we will look at below gives a simple breakdown of where you can and cannot legally grow marijuana in the United States. Rather, it breaks down each state by three categories: where you can legally grow marijuana, states in which you cannot, and states in which you can only legally grow marijuana for medical patients.
It is worth noting that all of these states, even those in which growing marijuana is completely legal, have their own caveats on just how, how much, and why it can be grown. For that reason, be sure to click through the infographic for more information on how each state handles the legalization of cannabis growth.
