Description
English: Map of the US showing US cannabis laws.
   State with legal medical cannabis.
   State with decriminalized cannabis possession laws.*
   State with both medical and decriminalization laws.
  • Nevada has laws decriminalizing cannabis possession for adults age 21 and over; non-medicinal cannabis possession remains a felony with a minimum one-year and a maximum four-year prison sentence for adults under age 21. Thus, Nevada is not considered to have decriminalized marijuana.[1]
  • Maryland has an active medical marijuana program, but this is really an affirmative defense law rather than an active program. Therefore, it is not included above [2]

   医療用大麻が合法の州
   大麻所持が非犯罪化されている州*
   医療用と非犯罪化の両方該当する州
  • ネヴァダ州では21歳以上の成人は大麻所持で処罰されない。21歳未満の医療用以外の大麻所持は1年以上4年以下の懲役であり、重罪のままである。
  • メリーランド州では医療用大麻プログラムが活発に行われているが、医療目的での大麻使用に限り、刑罰を軽減させる積極的抗弁法であるため、上の地図には含まれていない。

  1. Note on Nevada: Possession of less than an ounce of marijuana by minors and adults under 21 is a class E felony in Nevada with a one year mandatory minimum prison sentence, so it hasn't been decriminalized there. However, first time older adult offenders receive a misdemeanor and a fine not exceeding $600.[1]
  2. Note on Maryland: "Maryland's legislature passed a medical marijuana affirmative defense law in 2003. This law requires the court to consider a defendant's use of medical marijuana to be a mitigating factor in marijuana-related state prosecution. If the patient, post-arrest, successfully makes the case at trial that his or her use of marijuana is one of medical necessity, then the maximum penalty allowed by law would be a $100 fine."[2]
