On November 4, 2014, Alaska voted to legalize the possession, consumption, cultivation, and recreational sale of marijuana by passing Measure 2. Just like liquor, adults 21 and over can possess, consume, and purchase products from a recreational marijuana store. Adults are allowed to possess one ounce (28 grams) of marijuana at a given time. Adults can grow and possess up to 6 plants in your home. No more than 3 plants may be flowering or mature and must be kept private, away from public view in a secure place.
Who Oversees the Recreational Program in Alaska?
Two agencies oversee different aspects of the recreational marijuana program in Alaska. The Marijuana Control Board is established as a regulatory and quasi-judicial agency for the control of the cultivation, manufacture and sale of marijuana in the state. The Department of Revenue is responsible collecting the taxes imposed when marijuana is sold or transferred from a marijuana cultivation facility to a retail marijuana store or marijuana product manufacturing facility.
Alaska Recreational Sale Restrictions
The regulation of marijuana sales has defined purchase limitations for consumers. These limitations are outlined in the Alaska Dispensary Standard Operating Procedures.
Every business needs standard operating procedures to succeed and operate in a compliant manner. We have the following Alaska specific marijuana SOPs:
