7 States Where It’s Easiest To Get Weed

From medical marijuana cards to recreational dispensaries and black market dealers, there are all sorts of ways to get weed. Here are the states where getting cannabis is the easiest.

Weed laws in the United States are always changing. But this can also complicate things. From medical programs to decriminalization to legalization, the way you get weed can be confusing. So far, recreational weed is legal in only eight states and Washington, D.C. But just because it’s legal does not mean it’s easy to access. If you’re planning a vacation and want to get weed easily, stick to one of these states.

3. Washington
