adults over the age of 21! As a result of the newfound
recreational legality, adults are allowed to
possess up to one ounce of marijuana at a time,
and cultivate up to 6 plants – as long as they are
out of public view.
When does it officially start?
It officially began this January 1, at 6AM.
What will I need to make a purchase?
You must be 21 or older and have a valid ID-and

categorized by their strains ranging from strong
