Personal Use and Possession of Marijuana

Stay Safe Alaska
Personal Use and Possession of Marijuana
Beginning Tuesday, February 24, 2015, people age 21 and over can legally
possess, outside of their homes, up to an ounce of marijuana and can grow up
to six plants in their home (with up to three being mature, flowering plants).
Adults may also give up to an ounce of marijuana and up to six plants to
another adult.
Private consumption will be completely legal for adults, although public
consumption remains illegal.
February 24th is also the start of a nine-month rulemaking process for the state
to craft rules around the commercial aspects of legalization. Governor Walker
has introduced a bill to the Alaska State Legislature that would, if passed,
create a Marijuana Control Board. That board will work with the public,
stakeholders, municipal governments and the Legislature to craft rules that
best protect public health and public safety for Alaskans and its visitors.
