What the record says

Marihuana is a Schedule I controlled substance, and no practitioner may prescribe marihuana or THC other than an FDA-approved drug such as dronabinol. There is no adult use, no medical program and no low-THC registry; the former hemp extract program was repealed in 2019. Possessing up to 3 ounces in plant form is a misdemeanor punishable by up to 12 months in jail, a fine of up to $1,000, or both; a third or subsequent offense carries up to 5 years and $5,000, and more than 3 ounces is a felony. Federal law still treats non-medical marijuana as a Schedule I controlled substance.
