Cannabis Laws in Tennessee
Is weed legal in Tennessee? Largely no — this state has only a limited or CBD-restricted program, or no legal cannabis market.
Tennessee has no functional medical or adult-use cannabis program; recreational and medical marijuana remain illegal. A narrow law lets patients with certain conditions possess low-THC CBD oil, but there is no dispensary or cardholder system. In 2025-2026 the state tightened hemp rules, restricting THCA flower and Delta-8/synthetic cannabinoids.
Federally, cannabis is still a controlled substance nationwide — but that status is in flux. See where rescheduling stands →
