State permission is not
federal permission.
Compare broad state frameworks, then verify the current statute and regulator guidance before making a legal decision. State rules can differ on products, quantities, qualifying conditions, retail, local control, employment, housing, and driving.
Scope and uncertainty: These are broad state-level classifications from a secondary legislative survey, checked 2026-10-27. They omit local and many activity-specific rules and remain provisional while primary-source review proceeds. This is not legal advice.
