15 of the United States – Alaska, Arizona, California, Colorado, Delaware, Hawaii, New Jersey, Maine, Michigan, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, Oregon, Rhode Island, Vermont, and Washington – have approved and regulate medical marijuana use. The District of Columbia (DC) has also recently passed medical marijuana legislation. The federal government continues to enforce its prohibition in these states. There are also 2 states, Massachusetts and Maryland, whose drug laws are favorable towards the medicinal use of marijuana, in the latter case making it a non-incarcerable offense with a maximum penalty of a $100 fine, but which still explicitly ban it. In 2010, Arizona became the 15th state to legalize marijuana for medical purposes. In 2011, Delaware became the 16th state to legalize marijuana. If you include the state of Virginia which passed the very first state medical marijuana law , there are 19 marijuana friendly states in America.
