The best way to know what opportunities are available for you and your hospitality accounts is to frequently check state regulations in your home and surrounding states.
As of year-end 2025, 40 states, three territories, and the District of Columbia allow the use of cannabis products for medical use, and 24 states, three territories, and the District of Columbia allow or regulate non-medical, adult use of cannabis. Eight states also allow the use of “low THC, high cannabidiol” products for select medical reasons or as a legal defense.
Many states offer dedicated cannabis/marijuana commission or control board websites where you can view the latest regulations. The National Conference of State Legislatures (NCSL) also provides a bimonthly, state-by-state view of enacted legislature relating to cannabis.
