CBD Legal States

CBD, short for cannabidiol, is a non-psychoactive compound found in the cannabis plant. While CBD is legal at the federal level as long as it contains less than 0.3% THC, the legality of CBD varies by state.

CBD is fully legal in Alaska, Arizona, California, Colorado, Connecticut, the District of Columbia, Maine, Massachusetts, Michigan, Montana, Nevada, New Jersey, New York, Oregon, Vermont, Virginia, and Washington. Meanwhile, CBD is conditionally legal in the remaining states, meaning that it may be legal under certain circumstances, such as for medical use or with a prescription, but otherwise illegal.

It is worth noting that states in the West and Northeast tend to have more relaxed laws on CBD, with more states fully legalizing its use. On the other hand, states in the South and Midwest tend to have stricter laws on CBD, with most states only conditionally legalizing it. However, these trends are not absolute, and there are exceptions in both regions.
