Connecticut is the latest state to gain access to a legal recreational marijuana market. But, while some parts of the law have already gone into effect, there are others that will lag as much as a couple years before they fully roll out.

Connecticut Dispensary Laws

Currently, a person can possess 1.5 oz of cannabis legally. Until at least the end of 2022, retail sales will not be possible. Home growers are currently not allowed to do so. Since October 1, 2021, medical marijuana patients have been able to cultivate a maximum of 12 plants per household, including 3 mature plants and 3 immature plants. Starting July 1, 2023, all adults will be able to grow under the same rules.

Is weed legal in Connecticut?

Yes, Connecticut allows adults over 21 to possess up to 1.5 ounces of cannabis flower or 5 ounces if it’s in a locked container. Of course, recreational marijuana is also legal in Massachusetts, where Capital Cannabis is located. While buyers from out-of-state can purchase the same one ounce as residents at Capital Cannabis or another dispensary near Connecticut, it’s crucial to note it remains illegal to transport cannabis across state lines. This means you’ll need to enjoy your purchase within the Bay State rather than taking it home.

Does Connecticut have recreational cannabis dispensaries?

At the current time, Connecticut dispensaries are medical only. While adults over 21 in CT can possess up to 1.5 ounces of marijuana legally, there is not yet a legal place for recreational consumers to buy in the state. Medical patients in Connecticut, of course, are able to purchase from dispensaries in CT. While Massachusetts does not allow out-of-state medical marijuana cards, adults over 21 can purchase from a recreational dispensary like ours.

When will the first recreational dispensary in Connecticut open?

The frist recreational dispensary in CT will open “at the end of 2022.”
