What States Have Not Legalized Marijuana for Medical or Recreational Use?

As marijuana legalization continues to be a hot topic across the United States, many states have taken steps to legalize the use of marijuana for either medical or recreational purposes. However, there are still a few states that have not legalized marijuana in any form. Let's take a closer look at which states have not yet embraced the legalization movement.

States without Legalized Marijuana

Currently, there are twenty states (plus the District of Columbia) that have legalized marijuana for recreational use in some form. These states include Alaska, California, Colorado, Illinois, Maine, Massachusetts, Michigan, Nevada, Oregon, Vermont, Washington, and others. Additionally, thirty-six states have legalized medical marijuana to varying extents.

However, the following states have not legalized marijuana for medical or recreational use:

Idaho

Idaho has some of the strictest marijuana laws in the country. Possession of any amount of marijuana is considered a criminal offense, and there is no legal use of marijuana for medical purposes. In Idaho, marijuana possession is punishable by fines and potential jail time.

Kansas

Like Idaho, Kansas also has strict marijuana laws. The possession, sale, and cultivation of marijuana are criminal offenses. While there have been discussions about legalizing medical marijuana in Kansas, no legislation has been passed as of yet.

Nebraska

Nebraska is another state that has not embraced marijuana legalization. Possession, sale, and cultivation of any amount of marijuana are considered criminal offenses. There has been limited support for medical marijuana in Nebraska, but no significant progress has been made on this front.

South Dakota

South Dakota has historically had a strong stance against marijuana. Both medical and recreational use of marijuana are illegal in the state. However, in the November 2020 elections, South Dakota voters approved ballot measures to legalize both medical and recreational marijuana, making it the only state on this list that may soon change its stance.

Wyoming

Wyoming has not legalized marijuana use in any form. Possession, sale, and cultivation of marijuana are considered criminal offenses. The state has shown little interest in changing its marijuana laws, and no significant steps towards legalization have been taken.

Conclusion

While the majority of the United States has embraced the legalization of marijuana for either medical or recreational use, there are still a few states that have not followed suit. Idaho, Kansas, Nebraska, South Dakota (with potential changes in the near future), and Wyoming have all maintained strict laws against marijuana use in any form. As the topic continues to evolve, it will be interesting to see if these states reconsider their stance on marijuana legalization.
