Cannabis dispensaries are illegal in Idaho. Because Idaho prohibits all forms of marijuana including medical cannabis, there are no licensed dispensaries and no zoning provisions for cannabis retail. Boise's zoning code does not include cannabis dispensaries as a permitted or conditional use in any district.
Idaho law does not authorize medical or recreational cannabis dispensaries. Any business selling marijuana products operates illegally and is subject to criminal prosecution. Boise's Development Code (Title 11) does not list cannabis dispensaries in its Table of Allowed Uses. Neighboring states Oregon, Nevada, and Washington have legal cannabis markets, but transporting cannabis into Idaho remains a federal and state crime. CBD products with any detectable THC level are also prohibited from sale.
Operating an illegal cannabis dispensary is a felony under Idaho Code §37-2732, punishable by up to 5 years in prison and substantial fines. Distribution of marijuana carries enhanced penalties. Property used for drug distribution may be subject to civil asset forfeiture proceedings.
