Legal Topics
Cannabis is legal for recreational and medical use in the Northern Mariana Islands. The territory legalized both adult-use cannabis and medical marijuana in September 2018. Dispensaries opened to the public just under three years later, in July 2021.
Recreational consumers generally pay a 15% tax on retail sales, whereas medical cardholders typically pay a 7.5% tax.
Legislators still need to establish guidelines for allowing patients to receive certification through telehealth platforms like Leafwell. We hope to be operating in the territory soon, and you can join our waitlist to be notified when we open in your area.
Medical users possessing a Homegrown Registry Card can have up to 12 mature plants in their home, with an additional 24 immature plants.
