Legal status of marijuana in the state of wyoming

MEDICAL MARIJUANA IN WYOMING

The state of Wyoming has a medical marijuana law that was signed in 2015, but is basically unusable.

The law allows the use of CBD oil (defined as "hemp extract") with a THC percentage lower than 0,3% and a CBD percentage higher than 15% for patients with a recommendation of a certified neurologist.

However, patients in the state of Wyoming have no ways to obtain such medicines as there is no provision that allows the production or the sale of CBD products. A patient should then cross the states borders to obtain it in a different state but as this is illegal according to the federal laws, this is not really an option.

The only qualifying conditions for which a patients can get a recommendation from a licensed physician to become a medical marijuana patient in Wyoming is:

• Intractable epilepsy
