Updated on July 19th 2023
We’d like to send a HUGE congratulations to Arizona, Montana, Mississippi, New Jersey and South Dakota! This is a big step in the right direction, and we couldn’t be happier about the progression of Cannabis Legislation throughout the country. Keep reading below for a rundown on the regulations in these newly cannabis-friendly states.

Legalization in Arizona

  • 4 years after Arizona’s failed 2016 legalization measure, voters have finally passed a bill to legalize recreation cannabis for adult use.
  • Although a legalization start date is still up in the air, Arizona residents are looking forward to a date, likely in 2021, to be announced.
 

Legalization in Montana

  • Montana voters approved an adult use measure, with the legal age set to 21+
  • Residents of Montana will now be able to grow, use, and possess marijuana starting January 1, 2021.
  • Recreational marijuana sales will begin 1 year after in January 2021.
 

Legalization in Mississippi

  • In Mississippi, voters have now approved a ballot measure to approve the medical use and sale of marijuana.
  • Mississippi established a deadline of July 1, 2021 to set up state regulations regarding medical marijuana use.
 

Legalization in New Jersey

  • Voters in New Jersey have approved legislation for adult use cannabis for residents over the age of 21.
  • New Jersey legislature will have until the effective start-date of recreation use on January 1, 2021.
