Idaho has not legalized recreational or medical cannabis, so Boise has no zoning category permitting cannabis dispensaries, cultivation, manufacturing, or testing. All commercial cannabis activity remains unlawful under Idaho Code 37-2701 et seq.
Idaho is one of the few US states that has neither a medical nor an adult-use cannabis program. Idaho Code Title 37, Chapter 27 (Uniform Controlled Substances Act) classifies marijuana as Schedule I, and Idaho Code 37-2732 criminalizes possession, cultivation, and distribution. Because state law forbids the underlying activity, Boise has no zoning district, conditional-use permit, or business license category for cannabis dispensaries, cultivation, processing, distribution, or testing labs. The Idaho Office of Drug Policy has actively opposed legalization measures. Cities cannot opt in to commercial cannabis under Idaho's preemptive scheme, so a Boise zoning code amendment alone could not authorize dispensaries.
Operating any commercial cannabis activity is a felony under Idaho Code 37-2732, with state prosecution. No city permit or zoning relief is available.
