    printer friendly version

    Question: Is smoking weed (marijuana) legal in some States?

    Answer: No. Every State, from Alabama, Colorado, Kentucky to Vermont, including Arizona and every State in between, has enacted various criminal penalties for the possession, use, cultivation, transportation and distribution, of marijuana, including even the smallest of quantities.

    Arizona punishes possession of amounts less than two pounds as a class six felony with fines between $750 and $150,000 and jail or prison time from six months to a year and a half.

    A few States have decriminalized marijuana use and possession in small amounts (N. Carolina and California for example) but even there, its still illegal.

    Less people in jails if it's decriminalized. Alcohol is worse and it's o.k. I'll never understand why. Republicans should smoke so they'll see things in a much broader way.

    In Oregon, you can't sell or buy weed, but it's not illegal to smoke it on your own property.
