Methodology

— Source: the CannabisLaws.ai jurisdiction registry — the same database that powers compliance tooling inside CannabisOS.

— Every jurisdiction is human-reviewed against primary legislation and regulator publications, with a visible review date and official source links.

— "Fully legal" means regulated adult-use sales or cultivation frameworks; decriminalized and partial regimes are counted separately — never merged to inflate numbers.

— Counts change as we add jurisdictions and as laws change; figures recompute on every request.
