Cannabis
in Wyoming

Wyoming does not allow any legal amount of marijuana for recreational or medical use, and there are no state-approved dispensaries in the state (Cap City News; FindLaw). The three-ounce mark is the key threshold. Possessing smaller amounts is a misdemeanor carrying up to a year in jail and a $1,000 fine. Possessing larger amounts is a felony punishable by up to five years in prison and a $10,000 fine (NORML; FindLaw). Cannabis bought legally in another state becomes illegal once it crosses into Wyoming, and medical cards from other states are not recognized (Cap City News; Teton Attorney). The only narrow exception is for patients with intractable epilepsy. With a neurologist's authorization and a Department of Health registration card, they may

Wyoming has no legal age at which adults may buy or use cannabis, because the state has no legal recreational market. Cannabis for recreational use is illegal regardless of age (Wikipedia; FindLaw), and the state has no approved dispensaries (Cap City News). Visitors who are old enough to buy legally in a neighboring state should know that those products become illegal once they enter Wyoming (Cap City News). A limited exception lets patients with intractable epilepsy, with a neurologist's authorization, hold a state Department of Health card for high-CBD hemp extracts (Veriheal; MedicalMarijuana411). --- Notes for the editor No .gov sources were provided. Every citation above is a secondary source. I recommend confirming these points against Wyoming statutes or the Wyoming Department of Health before publishing. Source 10 is not about Wyoming state. It covers Wyoming, Michigan, a city in Kent County. Its age-21 figures are Michigan law, so I excluded it. Medical status is disputed, so I left it out. Most sources (2, 4, 6, 7, 13) say Wyoming has no medical marijuana program. DISA (3) says Wyoming "permits medical marijuana." MedicalMarijuana411 (12) says medical cannabis is "leg

Growing cannabis at home is not legal in Wyoming. State law bans cultivation along with possession, sale, and use (wyomingcannabis.org), and there is no personal-use exception for plants kept at home (Cap City News). Even a single plant can bring a misdemeanor charge with a possible jail sentence of up to six months (NORML). A medical card from another state offers no protection, because Wyoming does not recognize out-of-state cards and has no medical-use exception (Teton Attorney). --- Notes for the editor No .gov sources were available. Every citation above is secondary, drawn from an advocacy group, a news outlet, and a law firm. I recommend checking the paragraph against the Wyoming Statutes (Title 35) before publishing. The cultivation fine is omitted because the sources conflict. NORML lists a fine of up to $1,000. wyomingcannabis.org/laws lists up to $10,000. The two also word the jail term slightly differently: NORML says "up to 6 months," while wyomingcannabis.org says "6 months." I used NORML's wording for the jail term. An official source should settle both points. Source 10 (michigancannabis.org/kent/wyoming) is excluded. It describes Wyoming, Michigan, a city in Kent County, not the state. Its 12-plant home-grow figure does not apply here and should not appear on this page. Source 3 (DISA) is excluded. It says Wyoming "permits medical marijuana," which contradicts nearly every other source. Hemp cultivation is left out. Veriheal mentions HB171 (2019), a hemp-production law aligned with the Farm Bill. None of the sources say whether it allows any kind of personal or home hemp growing, so I did not address

Wyoming has no state agency that licenses or oversees cannabis dispensaries, because the state has no legal medical or recreational marijuana program and no state-approved dispensaries (FindLaw; Cap City News). The closest thing to a cannabis regulator is the Wyoming Department of Health. It handles a narrow hemp extract registration for patients with intractable epilepsy. Those patients must be certified by a neurologist and receive an identification card from the department (Veriheal; MedicalMarijuana411). Even with a card, the law does not create any in-state way to obtain these products (Wikipedia; WyomingCannabis.org). That means there is no regulated retail market for the department to supervise. --- Notes for the editor No .gov sources were provided. Every citation above is secondary. Before publishing, confirm the Department of Health's role and the hemp extract card details against the department's official site or the relevant Wyoming statute. Conflicting source left out. DISA says Wyoming "permits medical marijuana." Most other sources say it does not, so I did not use DISA's characterization. MedicalMarijuana411 calls medical cannabis "legal" but limited to low-THC products. I avoided that framing and described only the narrow registration. Details omitted because the sources didn't settle them: The specific THC and CBD thresholds for registered products. Only one source g

Wyoming has no cannabis tax rates to list because the state has no legal cannabis market to tax. Selling any amount of marijuana is a felony punishable by up to 10 years in prison and a $10,000 fine (https://norml.org/laws/wyoming-penalties-2/). The state has no approved dispensaries, no medical marijuana cards and no personal-use exception (https://capcity.news/promoted/2025/06/23/just-a-little-weed-so-why-are-you-being-treated-like-a-criminal-in-wyoming/). Cannabis bought legally in another state also becomes illegal once it enters Wyoming, so out-of-state purchases are not a lawful workaround (same source). The only legal category mentioned in the research is hemp-derived products that stay at or below 0.3% delta-9 THC by dry weight (https://www.veriheal.com/wyoming/). None of the sources say how those products are taxed. --- Notes for the editor No tax information in the sources. None of the 13 sources address cannabis or hemp taxation in Wyoming. I did not state tax rates, excise taxes or sales tax treatment. This includes whether ordinary sales tax applies to hemp or CBD products. No .gov sources. Every citation above is secondary. For a legal topic like this, the sale penalty and hemp threshold should be confirmed against the Wyoming statutes or Department of Revenue/Department of Health pages before publishing. Sources disagree on legal status. DISA (source 3) says Wyoming "permits medical marijuana," which contradicts most other sources. Medicalmarijuana411 (source 12) calls medical cannabis "legal" for low-THC products only. I avoided characterizing the medical program for that reason. Conflicting fine amounts. NORML lists a $1,000 maximum fine for cultivation, while wyomingcannabis.org/laws lists up to $10,000. The paragraph doesn't depend on this, but it is worth resolving if penalties appear elsewhere on the page. One irrelevant source. Michigancannabis.org (source 10) covers Wyoming, Michigan, not the state of Wyoming. It should not be used for this page. Hemp source may be outdated. The hemp threshold comes only from Veriheal and cites a 2019 law. Hemp rules have been changing, so this is a priority to confirm against a current official source.

Wyoming has no legal on-site consumption because it has no legal cannabis market. The state has no state-approved dispensaries (capcity.news), and using, possessing, cultivating, or selling marijuana is illegal for both recreational and medical purposes (wyomingcannabis.org/laws; FindLaw). Being under the influence of cannabis can bring up to 180 days in jail and a $750 fine (FindLaw). Travelers should know that cannabis bought legally in another state becomes illegal once it enters Wyoming (capcity.news). Federal regulations also prohibit marijuana in the national parks within the state (Teton Attorney). --- Notes for the editor No .gov sources were provided. Every citation above is secondary (advocacy, legal-information, law-firm

Wyoming has no medical marijuana program, so there is no card to apply for. The state does not issue medical marijuana cards (wyomingcannabis.org; Teton Attorney), and there are no licensed dispensaries or personal-use exemptions (Cap City News). Cards issued by other states are not honored, and Wyoming law provides no medical defense for marijuana possession (Teton Attorney). Online services cannot get around this, since there is no state registry for them to submit to (wyomingcannabis.org; Green Health Docs). The only exception is narrow. Patients with intractable epilepsy who are authorized by a neurologist may register with the Wyoming Department of Health for a hemp extract card (MedicalMarijuana411; Veriheal). That card covers only CBD extracts with less than 0.3% THC (FindLaw). Even registered patients have no legal way to buy these products inside the state (Wikipedia; [wyomingcannabis.org](https://wyoming

Wyoming has no medical marijuana program, so there is no list of conditions that qualify a patient for a medical cannabis card (FindLaw; Veriheal). The only medical allowance is narrow. People with intractable epilepsy may use CBD oil with less than 0.3% THC (FindLaw). To do so, they need a neurologist's authorization and a registration card from the state Department of Health (Veriheal; MedicalMarijuana411). Even registered patients have no legal way to obtain these products inside Wyoming (Wikipedia; WyomingCannabis.org). Medical cards issued by other states are not recognized (Teton Attorney). --- Notes for the editor No .gov sources were provided. Every citation above is secondary. Before publishing, check these claims against official sources: the Wyoming Department of Health's hemp extract registration page and the relevant Wyoming statute. The sources conflict on legal status, so I left the conflicting claims out. DISA says Wyoming "permits medical marijuana," and MedicalMarijuana411 calls medical cannabis "legal" in a low-THC form. Most other sources say no medical program exists. I described only the narrow epilepsy exception, which the sources broadly agree on. The sources disagree on the THC rule, so I did not say whether the card covers THC products. Veriheal

Anyone looking for a medical marijuana card application in Wyoming won't find one. The state runs no medical cannabis program and issues no patient cards (FindLaw; Cap City News). Cards issued by other states carry no legal weight there either (Teton Attorney). The only application-based pathway is narrow. Patients with intractable epilepsy who have a neurologist's authorization can seek a hemp extract registration card from the Wyoming Department of Health, which covers certain high-CBD, low-THC extracts (Veriheal; [MedicalMarijuana411](https://medicalmarijuana411.com/cannabis-education/

There is no medical marijuana card to renew in Wyoming because the state has never created a medical cannabis program or issued patient cards (wyomingcannabis.org; Teton Attorney). Wyoming also does not honor medical cards issued by other states, so an out-of-state registration offers no legal protection there, whether or not it is current (Teton Attorney). The only related credential is a narrow one. Patients with intractable epilepsy who have a neurologist's authorization may register with the Wyoming Department of Health to possess low-THC, high-CBD hemp extracts (Medical Marijuana 411; Veriheal). Anyone who holds that registration should contact the Department of Health directly about keeping it active. --- Notes for the editor No .gov sources were provided. Every citation above is secondary. Before publishing, verify these points against the Wyoming Department of Health and Wyoming statutes. Renewal terms are not established. None of the sources describe how long the hemp extract registration lasts, how or when it is renewed, or what renewal costs. I left out any renewal timeline or fee for that reason. The sources conflict on legal status. DISA says Wyoming "permits medical marijuana," and Medical Marijuana 411 says medical cannabis is "legal" in low-THC form. Most other sources (wyomingcannabis.org, FindLaw, Capcity News, Teton Attorney, Wikipedia) say no medical program exists. I followed the majority and described the low-THC registration narrowly instead of calling it a medical program. The sources conflict on in-state access. Wyomingcannabis.org and Wikipedia say the CBD law provides no legal way to obtain the product inside Wyoming. I did not say whether registered patients can actually buy it in-state. One source is off-topic. Source 10 (michigancannabis.org/kent/wyoming) covers Wyoming, Michigan, not the state of Wyoming. I excluded it. Its possession and home-grow figures should not appear on any Wyoming page.

Wyoming has no medical marijuana program, so no telehealth route to a medical card exists. The state does not issue cards, and there is no legal way to obtain medical marijuana online (wyomingcannabis.org; FindLaw). Some online certification services advertise Wyoming pages. At least one acknowledges that no program has been established and that proposed medical marijuana bills have not passed (Green Health Docs). Wyoming also does not recognize medical cards issued by other states, so an out-of-state telehealth certification offers no legal protection here (Teton Attorney). The one narrow exception is for patients with intractable epilepsy. These patients may use certain low-THC hemp extracts with a neurologist's authorization and a registration card from the state Department of Health (Veriheal; MedicalMarijuana411). --- Notes for the editor No .gov sources were provided. Every citation above points to a secondary source. Before publishing, I recommend confirming these points against the Wyoming Department of Health and the Wyoming Statutes, and swapping in those citations.

Wyoming offers no reciprocity for medical cannabis patients. A medical card from another state carries no weight under Wyoming law, which contains no exception for medical use (https://tetonattorney.com/wyoming-medical-marijuana-laws). Wyoming also does not issue its own medical marijuana cards, so neither residents nor visitors can obtain in-state authorization (https://wyomingcannabis.org/medical). Cannabis bought legally in a neighboring state loses that protection once it crosses into Wyoming (https://capcity.news/promoted/2025/06/23/just-a-little-weed-so-why-are-you-being-treated-like-a-criminal-in-wyoming/). Holding under three ounces is a misdemeanor that can bring up to 12 months in jail and a $1,000 fine (https://www.findlaw.com/state/wyoming-law/wyoming-marijuana-laws.html). In national parks within the state, federal rules separately prohibit marijuana possession (https://tetonattorney.com/wyoming-medical-marijuana-laws). --- Notes for the editor No official sources. None of the provided URLs is a .gov source, so every citation is secondary. Before publishing, I'd recommend checking these points against the Wyoming Statutes (e.g., W.S. 35-7-1031) or the Wyoming Department of Health. Conflicting sources I left out: DISA (source 3) says Wyoming "permits medical marijuana." Most other sources say medical cannabis is illegal. Source 12 describes Wyoming's low-THC law as legal medical cannabis. Other sources frame it only as a narrow CBD exception. -
