Overview

Wyoming has not legalized cannabis for any purpose and remains one of the most restrictive states in the nation regarding cannabis policy. There is no medical cannabis program, no decriminalization provisions, and all home cultivation is strictly illegal. Wyoming is surrounded by states with varying degrees of cannabis legalization, but it has maintained its prohibitionist stance.

Legislative efforts to introduce even limited medical cannabis access have repeatedly failed in the Wyoming legislature. Home cultivation of any number of plants carries serious criminal consequences. The state's rural nature and conservative political landscape suggest that significant cannabis reform is unlikely in the near future.
