Important Considerations
State vs. Federal Rules: While many states have legalized cannabis, it remains illegal at the federal level in the U.S. This affects interstate transportation and some banking issues.
Minimum Age for Recreational Use: Generally, you must be 21 to consume recreational cannabis.
Medical Licenses: In states that allow medical use, patients need a doctor’s recommendation and an ID card for legal access.
