Legalization of Marijuana for Recreational Use

In 2012, Colorado and Washington were the first states to legalize recreational cannabis. However, there are still restrictions, and those who do not follow the restrictions can face fines and other mild sentences. Overall, the ‘recreational states’ allow adults 21 years of age or older to purchase cannabis products from an authorized dispensary. It is not legal for anyone to sell or provide marijuana to someone who is under the age of 18. This can be punishable by jail time.

Though marijuana is legal for recreational use in many places across America, individual states still may make their own rules regarding marijuana possession, use, sales, and cultivation. They are allowed to increase the minimum age for use, lower the possession limit, create more restrictive rules for growing, and restrict where cannabis can be consumed. This means that the laws may be different in each different state or county that you visit, so it’s important for those who want to grow, buy or consume cannabis to become familiar with the regulations for the place they are in.

Can Marijuana Seeds be Bought in USA?

Federal law in America still prohibits the use of cannabis as it is a schedule 1 drug. However, it has been bought and sold legally as a medicinal agent for nearly 25 years. Thankfully the seeds themselves, which contain no active cannabinoids, are considered a souvenir item and can be bought and sold without worry. Once the seeds germinate and become living plants, growers are limited in the number they can grow – depending on their home state’s laws. Recreational users may be allowed somewhere in the range of 4 to 12 plants, while licensed medical growers can obtain permission to grow several hundred plants. The best way to be prepared before your purchase is to check your home state’s growing limits so that you can maximize your productivity without breaking any laws.
