North Dakota has been rocking out with medical marijuana since 2016, but there's no telling whether or not they'll make the switch to recreational anytime soon. However, they have taken steps to decriminalize small amounts of weed for personal use. To qualify, patients must be over 19 years old and get a doctor's note saying that cannabis might help them with one of 31 qualifying conditions. Medical patients can possess up to 3 ounces of marijuana in a 14-day period.
