Cannabis dispensaries are illegal anywhere in Cheyenne because Wyoming has not legalized recreational or medical marijuana under Wyo. Stat. 35-7-1031, leaving zoning moot since possession and sale remain criminal statewide.
Wyo. Stat. 35-7-1031 keeps marijuana classified as a controlled substance, prohibiting commercial cultivation, distribution, and retail sale of THC cannabis products. Wyoming has no medical marijuana program and no adult-use recreational framework, putting it among the last US holdouts. Cheyenne therefore does not zone for dispensaries; any storefront purporting to sell THC marijuana is operating illegally regardless of municipal location. Hemp-derived CBD products at or below the federal 0.3 percent delta-9 THC threshold are legal under WY hemp law and can be sold by licensed retailers, subject to state hemp registration.
Possession, sale, or cultivation of marijuana exposes operators to felony or misdemeanor charges under Wyo. Stat. 35-7-1031 plus federal Controlled Substances Act exposure; civil asset forfeiture also possible.
