Status of recreational marijuana in the U.S.

The use of marijuana for recreational purposes is currently legal in 18 states and in Washington D.C. Colorado and Washington were the first states to legalize marijuana use in 2012. Those opposed to legalization point to an increased risk to public health and safety. Advocates champion the therapeutic benefits and claim marijuana isn’t as dangerous as alcohol. Twenty seven states and the District of Columbia have also decriminalized marijuana in small quantities.

Marijuana is currently illegal at the federal level. Any state legalization has been done in direct conflict with the federal government. However, they have adopted a hands-off approach to prohibition enforcement in states that have made marijuana legal.
