Vermont

Medical use:Legal
Recreational:Yes

Vermont has had medical marijuana since 2004 and chose to legalize recreational weed in 2020. Now, you can apply to be a medical patient and purchase or possess up to 2 ounces of weed at a time. You can also grow up to 9 plants as long as you only have two mature ones at a time. On the recreational side, you’re allowed to buy and possess up to one ounce and grow up to 6 plants, as long as only two are flowering at a time. Vermont is an excellent state to visit because of its solid medical program and relaxed recreational laws.
