## Facts

- **Catalogue content updated:** 2026-10-26
- **Legal status:** Allowed with conditions. Adults 21+ may buy from state-licensed retail marijuana stores; no medical card is needed. Up to 1 ounce per transaction. Conditions: Minimum age 21+. Rule jurisdiction: Alaska. Reviewed: 2026-09-09.
- **Can tourists buy:** Allowed with conditions. Visitors buy on the same terms as residents: any adult 21+ with a valid government-issued photo ID may purchase from a licensed retailer; there is no residency requirement.

- **Overview of United States (not a local permission):** La vendita legale per uso adulto esiste solo negli stati e territori che hanno effettivamente avviato un mercato ricreativo, non a livello nazionale. In quelle giurisdizioni i turisti di norma possono acquistare in un dispensario autorizzato a partire dai 21 anni con un documento d'identità valido rilasciato dallo Stato o un passaporto. La cannabis resta una sostanza controllata a livello federale, quindi non puoi trasportare il prodotto oltre i confini statali o le frontiere internazionali.
