\npossess, outside of their homes, up to an ounce of marijuana and can grow up
\nto six plants in their home (with up to three being mature, flowering plants).
\nAdults may also give up to an ounce of marijuana and up to six plants to
\nanother adult.
\nPrivate consumption will be completely legal for adults, although public
\nconsumption remains illegal.
\nFebruary 24th is also the start of a nine-month rulemaking process for the state
\nto craft rules around the commercial aspects of legalization. Governor Walker
\nhas introduced a bill to the Alaska State Legislature that would, if passed,

\nstakeholders, municipal governments and the Legislature to craft rules that
