Most of us remember when marijuana was the evil ‘gateway’ drug. Get caught toking up and expect to spend some time in the slammer. Fortunately, in 2018, stoners celebrating 420 can toke up as free as ever.

States are as friendly towards cannabis as they’ve ever been, more of them decriminalizing the plant, and some outright legalizing it. Even brands are taking advantage of the marketing opportunities tied with the legalization. Lyft is offering a $4.20 discount for riders on ‘cannabis Christmas’ with this promo code. Hooters is also offering ‘snozzberry sauce.’ Mmhmm.

But before you decide to go all Cheech and Chong, below is simply a reminder as to where marijuana is still illegal.
