About Is Weed Legal
Is Weed Legal answers one question for every US state and country: what can an adult do with cannabis there today? You get the answer in the first line, the law linked beside it and the date we checked it.
Who it’s for
Travellers checking a destination before they pack. Residents whose state just rewrote its hemp, THCA or delta-8 rules. Patients who need to know where their card or prescription works. Every guide is written for readers in the US, UK, Canada and Australia, in plain English.
Why readers use it
Many pages that rank for cannabis law were written before the latest ballot wins, the state hemp bans and the federal hemp change. Every guide here splits its answer by what you want to do (possess, buy, grow, use in public, travel) and by who you are (resident, visitor, patient). When a rule changes, the page changes with the date it takes effect.
How we research
- Primary sources in every guide. The statute, regulation, regulator’s page or government notice is linked next to the claim, with a full source list at the end.
- Dates on every page. When a rule takes effect, when we checked the source and when the page last changed.
- Exact status words. Legal, medical only, decriminalised, tolerated, pending, proposed and illegal, each used for one thing only.
The editor
Alexander Gusev edits every guide on Is Weed Legal and founded Beundra AB, the Swedish company that publishes it. Each guide is built from the statutes, regulators and government pages it links, so every answer is one click from its source.
