Overview

Idaho is one of the most restrictive states regarding cannabis. There is no medical marijuana program, no decriminalization, and no CBD exception beyond federally compliant hemp products containing 0% THC. Idaho's constitution was amended in an effort to make future legalization more difficult. The state's proximity to legal-cannabis states like Oregon and Washington has led to increased law enforcement along border corridors.
