## Facts

- **Catalogue content updated:** 2026-10-22
- **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.

- **Overview of United States (not a local permission):** Legalna sprzedaż detaliczna dla dorosłych istnieje wyłącznie w stanach i terytoriach, które faktycznie uruchomiły rynek rekreacyjny, a nie w całym kraju. W tych jurysdykcjach turyści zwykle mogą kupować w licencjonowanym dyspensarium od 21. roku życia, okazując ważny dokument tożsamości wydany przez władze lub paszport. Marihuana pozostaje kontrolowana na poziomie federalnym, więc nie wolno przewozić produktu przez granice stanowe ani międzynarodowe.

- **Medical access:** Allowed with conditions. Alaska also runs a medical marijuana registry; adult-use stores serve patients and non-patients alike. Conditions: Minimum age 18+. Rule jurisdiction: Alaska. Reviewed: 2026-09-09.
- **Possession limit:** Allowed with conditions. Adults 21+ may possess up to 1 ounce of marijuana and grow up to 6 plants (3 mature) at home (AS 17.38.020).
