North Dakota

North Dakota is similar to South Dakota except it’s closer to Canada and it doesn’t have Mount Rushmore. But that isn’t all; it did legalize medical marijuana with the North Dakota Compassionate Care Act. However, their recreational laws are non-existent–in fact, their repercussions are harsher than most states. If you are carrying half an ounce, you’re facing a $1000 fine and a prison time that adjusts based on the amount you’re carrying. North Dakota has made delta-8 THC illegal. The decision was finalized in the North Dakota House Bill 1045, prohibiting Delta-8.

Key Takeaways:

  • North Dakota’s marijuana laws allow medical but not recreational use, with hefty penalties for possession.
  • Delta-8 THC is illegal in North Dakota, following the passing of House Bill 1045.
  • The state defines hemp with a delta-9 tetrahydrocannabinol concentration limit of 0.3%.
  • North Dakota’s Controlled Substances Act excludes tetrahydrocannabinols found in hemp from its Schedule I classification.
