Wyoming has not legalized recreational or medical marijuana, making any possession or use illegal statewide under Wyo. Stat. Title 35 ch. 7, with Cheyenne enforcing both state law and local public conduct rules through CPD.
Wyoming remains one of the most restrictive states on cannabis, with no recreational legalization, no functional medical program, and only narrow CBD provisions for severe seizure disorders under Wyo. Stat. §35-7-1801. Possession of any marijuana under three ounces is a misdemeanor under Wyo. Stat. §35-7-1031, while three ounces or more becomes a felony. Public use, possession in a vehicle, or possession on F.E. Warren AFB triggers serious enforcement. Cheyenne Police enforce state law and refer cases to Laramie County District Court. Hemp products containing THC trigger the same penalties as marijuana under Wyoming interpretation.
Possessing or using marijuana publicly, including out-of-state legal purchases brought into Wyoming, triggers misdemeanor charges, possible jail time, fines, and felony charges for larger quantities.
