Six categories of rights that affect your daily life as a cannabis consumer, patient, worker, or tenant.
How much you can legally possess, where you can buy it, whether delivery is available, and public consumption rules.
Whether employers can test, fire, or refuse to hire you based on cannabis use — and which roles are exempt.
What landlords can and cannot prohibit, and how federal housing programs (Section 8, HUD) interact with state law.
Per se THC limits (if any), impairment standards, and how DUI enforcement works in each state.
Whether prior cannabis convictions can be cleared, whether the process is automatic or petition-based, and which statutes apply.
What happens if you exceed possession limits or engage in unlicensed sales — misdemeanor, felony, or civil fine.
Cannabis remains a Schedule I controlled substance under federal law. Federal property (national parks, military bases, federal buildings), federal employees, and federal contractors are subject to federal law regardless of state law.
Transporting cannabis across state lines — even between two legal states — is a federal crime. This includes airports, which are federal jurisdiction.
If stopped by law enforcement, you have the right to remain silent and the right to an attorney. You are not required to consent to a search of your vehicle or home.
In states with medical programs, registered patients often have stronger protections than adult-use consumers — particularly for employment and housing. Always carry your medical card.
