Cannabis in Idaho: Fully Illegal
Idaho remains one of the strictest states regarding cannabis. There is no medical marijuana program, no decriminalization of possession, and no legal CBD products containing any detectable amount of THC. In fact, Idaho law defines marijuana to include any amount of THC, making even hemp-derived CBD products with trace THC technically illegal.
Idaho is bordered by legal states (Oregon, Washington, Nevada), and law enforcement frequently stops vehicles crossing state lines. Transporting cannabis into Idaho from any neighboring state is a criminal offense.
