Of course, pot remains illegal on a federal level, but as of this writing the Trump administration has not bucked the trend for states to regulate themselves when it comes to the notorious weed.
Here's the latest rundown on state pot laws as they pertain to recreational and medical use.
Worth noting: Transporting marijuana between states remains illegal in all instances. Even where pot is legal, you can't smoke it in public or drive while stoned.
Decriminalized means offenses are treated more or less like a minor traffic violation.
And if you're holding a meeting in a state where pot is legal, consider upping the F&B budget.
