In, 2012, Colorado and Washington became the first states to legalize recreational cannabis. Before that, cannabis was legal in certain states only to those with qualifying medical conditions. As more states follow in Washington and Colorado’s footsteps, “recreational” has become the commonly used term for personal cannabis consumption that isn’t exclusively for medical purposes. Recreational cannabis is defined as any form of cannabis used without medical justification. This type of product is traditionally associated with strains containing a high tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) content.
