#1: More States Enact Adult-Use Marijuana Legalization Laws

Delaware, Minnesota, and Ohio enacted laws in 2023 legalizing adult-use marijuana possession and providing timelines for regulating retail cannabis markets. In addition, Maryland lawmakers passed legislation in May regulating adult-use marijuana sales. Those sales began on July 1. In January, lawmakers in the US Virgin Islands also approved an adult-use legalization law, though its provisions have yet to take effect.

“For the first time since the adoption of federal marijuana prohibition, more US citizens reside in jurisdictions where cannabis is state-legal than live somewhere where it is not,” NORML Deputy Director Paul Armentano said.
