DescriptionMap-of-US-state-cannabis-laws.png	English: Map of the US showing US cannabis laws. Current as of August 2013.   State with legal medical cannabis.   State with decriminalized cannabis possession laws.*   State with both medical and decriminalization laws.   State with legalized cannabis. Nevada has laws decriminalizing cannabis possession for adults age 21 and over; non-medicinal cannabis possession remains a felony with a minimum one-year and a maximum four-year prison sentence for adults under age 21. Thus, Nevada is not considered to have fully decriminalized marijuana.[1] Maryland has an active medical marijuana program, but this is really an affirmative defense law rather than an active program. Therefore, it is not included above.[2] 日本語: アメリカ合衆国の各州における大麻の法律についての地図   医療大麻が合法の州   大麻の所持が法律において非犯罪化されている州*   医療と法律における所持の非犯罪化の両方の州   大麻が合法化されている州 ネバダ州は、21歳以上の成人の大麻の所持を非犯罪化する法律を有する。21歳未満に対しては、医療用以外の大麻の所持は1年以上4年以下の懲役であり、重罪のままである。従って、ネバダ州は完全に大麻が非犯罪化されているとはみなされない。 メリーランド州には積極的な医療大麻計画があるが、これは実際には、積極的な計画というよりは積極的抗弁法である。そのため上の地図には含まれていない。

1. ↑ Note on Nevada: Possession of less than an ounce of marijuana by minors and adults under 21 is a class E felony in Nevada with a one year mandatory minimum prison sentence. However, first time older adult offenders receive a misdemeanor and a fine not exceeding $600.[1]
2. ↑ Note on Maryland: "Maryland's legislature passed a medical marijuana affirmative defense law in 2003. This law requires the court to consider a defendant's use of medical marijuana to be a mitigating factor in marijuana-related state prosecution. If the patient, post-arrest, successfully makes the case at trial that his or her use of marijuana is one of medical necessity, then the maximum penalty allowed by law would be a $100 fine."[2]
