No medical or adult-use cannabis programme operates; hemp cultivation is licensed, and any THC-bearing product outside that framework draws a citation or arrest.
Accessible status — Ticketable: Conduct drawing a civil citation or fine rather than criminal charges.
Idaho authorises hemp cultivation and processing under a state plan approved by the federal agriculture department, with pre-harvest testing and a disposal obligation for lots over the THC limit. There is no medical or adult-use cannabis programme. Possession of THC-bearing cannabis is a criminal matter, and the state has taken the position that its own hemp framework does not authorise consumable products containing THC.
Transport through the state is a specific risk point: loads inspected at the border can face enforcement even where the material is lawful at its point of origin.
Transporters routing hemp through Idaho should carry complete documentation and expect inspection. Retailers should avoid stocking consumable THC products of any concentration, because state law does not recognise a lawful retail category for them.
Approved reports and guides filed under Idaho.
The proposed constitutional amendment would have let only the Legislature legalize marijuana and other drugs. All forms of marijuana remain illegal in Idaho; results are set to be certified Nov. 24.
A yes vote would remove citizens' ability to legalize or decriminalize marijuana, narcotics or other psychoactive substances by initiative. A separate medical cannabis initiative failed to qualify for this year's ballot in July.
The Idaho State Department of Agriculture's proposed fee rule would license and inspect hemp retailers under a 2026 law. A public hearing is set for Oct. 20, and written comments are due Oct. 28.
