These states are Alaska, Arizona, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Illinois, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Montana, Nevada, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, Ohio, Oregon, Rhode Island, Vermont, Virginia, and Washington. There are a handful of states past these where weed is only legal for medical use, or where weed is still completely illegal. These numbers could shift after the 2024 elections in November.
