Idaho Marijuana Laws

As recorded December 15, 2025 · not verified as current law.

Cannabis laws in Idaho follow Idaho’s state law. Legal status and penalties are set at the country/state level, not by the city.

Recreational and medical marijuana are illegal. Some low-THC CBD products may be permitted under strict conditions, but that does not mean marijuana is legal. Possession of cannabis carries criminal penalties.

Quick facts

  • Recreational: Illegal
  • Medical: Limited (low-THC CBD only)
  • Possession: Illegal for marijuana
  • Buying/Selling: Illegal
  • Tourists: No legal access

Practical guidance

Avoid cross-border transport of cannabis products. Do not assume informal tolerance equals legality.

Legislative Background

Idaho maintains some of the strictest cannabis laws in the United States, with no provisions for recreational or medical use. Possession of any amount is criminalized, and even CBD products are restricted unless they contain zero THC. Attempts to introduce medical or low-THC programs have repeatedly failed in the legislature.
