Dispensary Questions

Is marijuana legal in Alaska?

Yes, medical and recreational marijuana are both legal in Alaska.

What do I need to bring to shop at your dispensaries in Wasilla and Palmer?

Before you visit our Wasilla or Palmer dispensaries, make sure you have:

    • Recreational adult-use: A valid government-issued ID that shows you are at least 21 years old (we can accept a state-issued driver’s license/ID card, passport, birth certificate, or a social security card)
    • Medical cannabis: Your state-issued medical marijuana card

How old do I have to be to consume marijuana?

You must be 21 years old to use marijuana products. It is illegal to give marijuana to minors.

Can I smoke or consume cannabis while in the park with my friends?

Not in Alaska. Again, the law bans all public use of any marijuana, not just smoking. This means it is illegal to use marijuana in schools, amusement venues, businesses, parks, playgrounds, sidewalks, or roads, just to name a few. And since marijuana is still illegal federally, you cannot use it on federal land — not in national parks and national forests.

So where can I use marijuana?

Private property is your best bet, though some property owners or homeowners associations may have policies that prohibit marijuana use. Check your local laws and with hotel owners and landlords prior to consuming marijuana.

What about marijuana possession for teens and young adults under age 21?

It is illegal for anyone under the age of 21 to possess marijuana.

Can I take marijuana out of the state?

No. It is illegal to leave Alaska with any marijuana products.

How much marijuana can I buy in Alaska?

Under Alaskan law, adults 21 years of age or older are allowed to possess up to one ounce (28 grams) of marijuana. That means that you are allowed to buy up to one ounce of marijuana from Bad Gramm3r.

Can I give cannabis away in Alaska?

Yes, under Ballot Measure 2, adults 21 years of age or older are allowed to transfer up to one ounce of marijuana and up to six marijuana plants to another person who is at least 21 years old, as long as no remuneration is accepted.

Cannabis: The Basics

What are strains?

Cannabis strains are the unique varietals of the cannabis flower. Each strain offers a distinct combination of flavor, aroma, and expected effects, due to the small differences in chemical composition. Thanks to the innovation of today’s top cultivators, there are thousands of different cannabis strains out there. This makes it possible to find options that are perfectly tailored to your specific wants, goals, and needs.

When you purchase flower and concentrates, you can expect to see clear information about the strain. However, other cannabis products will be labeled as either indica or sativa, while some (such as edibles) don’t reference the plant type or strain at all.

What does sativa, indica, and hybrid mean?

Sativa, indica, and hybrid are the three “categories” that cannabis strains are often organized into. Each type originates from a specific region of the world, and is believed to have a certain type of effect:

    • Sativa strains are usually from areas near the equator and are commonly associated with increased energy, focus, and creativity.
    • Indica strains are found in northern latitudes and are often thought to produce calming effects.
    • Hybrid strains are a varying cross between sativa and hybrid strains, and typically offer a balanced profile of effects.

What are terpenes?

Terpenes are the oils naturally produced by the cannabis plant, and they are what give each strain a distinct flavor and aroma. There are many different plants that secrete terpenes, including a wide variety of fruits and herbs. For many cannabis consumers, there are certain terpenes that create an experiential effect (via smell and taste) that they particularly enjoy.

There is still much to learn about the science of terpenes, including how they may work in tandem with THC and CBD to support the therapeutic effects of cannabis.

Medical Questions:

What medical conditions will qualify a patient for medical marijuana?

The approved medical conditions for Alaska’s medical marijuana program include cancer, glaucoma, HIV+, or AIDS, epilepsy, and multiple sclerosis. Additionally, any chronic or debilitating disease that produces one or more of the following: cachexia, severe pain, severe nausea, seizures, and muscle spasms. Additional conditions may be approved by Alaska Department of Health and Social Services.

What documentation do I need from the recommending physician to provide with my application?

Patients must fill out the Application for Medical Marijuana Registry which requires name, address, date of birth, and an Alaska driver’s license number or identification number. Additionally, a physician’s statement form needs to be filled out regarding why the patient may benefit from medical marijuana. Click for access to the Alaska registry packet.

How much will it cost to apply for a registry identification card?

The application fee costs $25 or $20 for renewal.

What happens if I lose my card?

There is no specific process outlined if a cardholder loses their card in Alaska. We recommend you contact the Alaska Department of Health and Social Services at 907-465-5423 for information on procedures.
