It is important to note, however, that marijuana is still a Schedule I drug per the federal government. As such, it is federally illegal even if legal in your state. Further, many states have specialized processes for obtaining the right to purchase marijuana. Typically, a medical or recreational use card is required, with each state having its own process to apply for these.
Yes. In addition to a marijuana license or card (if required in your state), you will also need to show proof of ID. This is typically in the form of a government-issued ID. Acceptable IDs usually include a state-issued ID card, driver’s license, passport or US armed forces ID card.
*Note: The ID must be up to date and not expired.
Many states where marijuana is legalized allow non-residents who are 21+ in age to purchase and consume cannabis within the borders of it’s state. However, traveling with cannabis over state lines (even if just passing through) of another state where marijuana is illegal is against the law and can carry significant federal charges (i.e. interstate felony).
The amount of cannabis or marijuana you can purchase will vary depending on the state you are in and whether or not it is for recreational or medical purposes.
The US banking system is federally regulated and insured. Because cannabis is currently a federally illegal drug, banks are not legally allowed to handle banking for any business that profits from cannabis or marijuana sales.
This means that dispensary transactions cannot be processed via bank, debit or credit cards, and can only be made with cash. The good news is that ATMs abound around and inside virtually every dispensary, knowing that its customers need access to cash for their purchases.
Each dispensary is allowed to set it’s own hours of operation: but with limitations. For example, state law, and local city and county ordinances may mandate the hours during which cannabis can be sold (similar to bars). Each of our listings will indicate the hours of operation so you’ll never be left wondering if you can get your green.
