Jamesy0627144 and all who are interested. I think the main SVG map should have 5 colors. See main SVG map at the top of the article:
This map below has 5 colors, and does a good job of summarizing the current marijuana laws in the US. I think the main SVG map should keep its existing 3 colors, and add 2 more colors. Maybe Cmglee can help in adding 2 more colors to the main map.
See map source with more info. Hover to see state and territory names there.
"State regulated" is in the map title for a reason. Some states enacted "CBD/low THC programs" shown on the map in orange. This map does not show access to federally-regulated hemp-derived CBD ( cannabidiol), delta-8-THC, etc.. Those are available in many states due to the federal 2014 and 2018 Farm Bills linked in Wikipedia: Cannabidiol#United States. Some states have restricted access to those hemp-derived substances. For more info see: [1] [2] [3] [4] [5].
It looks like the Northern Mariana Islands are currently using the blue color in the legend: "Adult use only, no medical regulated program". -- Timeshifter ( talk) 10:29, 23 April 2024 (UTC)
Marinol is legal in all 50 states now too. Like Epidiolex. Both are prescription only. The current map says nothing about either one of them. The current map says nothing about the hemp-derived CBD you are talking about. A separate map should cover hemp-derived CBD. A map is not needed for Marinol and Epidiolex. Since they are available by prescription in all 50 states.
The 2 maps are exactly the same for the main 2 colors: State recreational, and state comprehensive medical.
The gray areas in the current map are the same states as the orange and white states in the map above. But the map above is much more informative.
Orange and white could be added to the existing map. A link to the MPP article can be put in the legend.
The map caption can state that the CBD/low THC state programs have little to no practical impact in most of those states. Or as the MPP article states concerning those states: "All but two of the laws — Georgia’s and Iowa’s — fail to allow for realistic, in-state access."
Both maps only cover the state regulated programs. But with 2 more colors readers have a much better map. A map that covers all the state regulated cannabis programs. And they have the "D" for decriminalized. Which is also at the state level.
@ Cmglee: The current SVG map could be combined with this map's SVG:
Then we could have state names on the map here. A simple list could be placed in the article for the decriminalized states.
The resulting map could be used as a template for other maps in this article, and others. A delta-8-THC map. A map for cannabis record clearance. Etc..
I found a template that lets one add legends to an SVG image. And optionally to make them links too. See template and example:

Here is a map with color backgrounds, links, and legend:
-- Timeshifter ( talk) 15:01, 25 April 2024 (UTC)
I think an added gallery of separate maps at the bottom of the article may solve most problems. It keeps the main map at the top of the article simpler, as desired by some.
When possible, the maps should be editable so that mistakes can be corrected. Such as with the Northern Mariana Islands on the NCSL 5-color map. All gallery maps, whether made by users, or pulled from websites, can have a date put on them so readers know the last date at which the map is accurate.
If possible, I think the maps should have 2-letter state abbreviations. Even on the main map. An asterisk can be used instead of "D" on the main map.
I found some time, and started a map gallery. The maps wrap. Narrow your browser window to see. See: Help:Table/Advanced#Side by side tables/images. It is a more customizable image gallery method.

The "Universal symbols for recreational legal states" do not need this more complex gallery method. -- Timeshifter ( talk) 15:00, 29 April 2024 (UTC)
I've added a single sentence (probably all the article should have until things move forwards or more analysis appears) about the annoucement today of plans to move Cannabis to Schedule III. I don't think we should say more than that until something happens; alternatively, if nothing comes of it, we should probably delete it outright. Also mentioning this at Cannabis in the United States. Adam Cuerden ( talk)Has about 8.9% of all FPs. 21:00, 1 May 2024 (UTC)
Timeshifter and I are currently tied up in a dispute over the coloring of the D's on the main U.S. cannabis map, which he would like to make purely black. This may seem like kind of a minor issue but since the map appears at the top of this highly viewed article, as well as at the top of other highly viewed cannabis articles, I'm giving a heads up here since I don't think many people are subscribed to the map Commons page. Feel free to weigh in, we are kind of at a stalemate and some outside perspective would probably help.-- Jamesy0627144 ( talk) 18:51, 2 May 2024 (UTC)
I now support having only 3 colors in the main map at the top of the page. The 5-color map is great if one understands how bogus nearly all of the CBD/low-THC state programs are. Otherwise one may think those states actually have a better medical program than they actually have.
Back to the current 3-color map. I, and many others, often confuse the state names if they are not written on the map (full names or 2-letter abbreviations).
If there is no state name or abbreviation on the map, then the state name should pop up when hovering over the state in the thumbnail map. Currently, the state name only pops up after clicking on the map twice. Try it and see.
There are various US map templates where the state names pop up, even from the thumbnail map:
A US map with territories could be used the same way. There does not need to be any text on the map. The state names can be made to pop up just from hovering over the blank state. The states can be colored any way we want.
If desired, the map can be made such that clicking on the state takes one to that state in the table. This template is made for that:
The text can be removed from the map, and the states colored any way we want. For more info see:
-- Timeshifter ( talk) 23:38, 3 May 2024 (UTC)
See Template:Flatlist. Example below with all 50 states (no Washington, DC).
The above flat list has been added at the beginning of the table of states:
Via the id= method discussed here:
A flat list (without all 50 states) is in the article section linked below. It is in the map caption:
Clicking the state on the map there will also work. Map does not have to be there, but it is convenient.
I had to put nowiki tags around an Alaska reference (that I had not added) before I could work on the table in a sandbox.
When I removed the tags here, I got a blacklist filter warning for legalweedalaska dot com
Here is the removed reference:
<ref>{{cite web|url=http://legalweedalaska.com|title=Legal Weed Alaska|last=Labs|first=Kelley Code|access-date=January 24, 2017}}</ref>
I know from past experience that sometimes a specific reference can be removed from the blacklist if you ask. Depends on the reference.
Here is another possibility for the "By state" section of the article. Put this just above it.

Hey everyone. So Timeshifter and I have been in a dispute over the past week or so over whether the D's on the map need to be colored black for accessibility purposes, rather the dark red that I proposed as an alternative to the pure red which was used for many years (the pure red as Timeshifter correctly pointed out was not sufficient for accessibility purposes). I made a post at WikiProject Maps asking for more input on the matter but haven't gotten much support for my position over there, lol. So the D's are probably going to have to be changed to pure black, which isn't the end of the world but I don't care for the current color scheme of the map with the black D's substituted for red. So I came up with some alternative color schemes using this site and uploaded some samples to see what people thought. I also came up with a 9th color scheme which I took from Help:Using colours and made the borders black instead of white. I'm kind of liking 9 the best, with 3, 4 and, 8 also being decent. Thoughts?
: Actually I'm kind of liking 8 the best after having more time for these to sink in.

See: Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Maps#Diagonal striping alternating between white and a US state's background color. -- Timeshifter ( talk) 01:17, 10 May 2024 (UTC)
For anyone not paying attention to the discussion at WikiProject Maps, we found a way to do the hatching and I have proposed five maps that I think would be acceptable, which are shown below.
Timeshifter has proposed this one:
Comment over there I guess to keep it in one place, even though I am not sure if maybe the conversation would be better suited over here now that we have figured out the technical issue.-- Jamesy0627144 ( talk) 21:14, 11 May 2024 (UTC)
TheTechnician27. Please compare these 2 maps. The larger size (350px wide) is the same as in the map template at the top of the article. What do you think of the map with the lighter green #80CE69? The blue and gray colors are the same. I find it easier to read the "D", especially at smaller thumbnail map sizes. I also made the white borders slightly wider in the map with the lighter green. The new map does very well in all the color blindness and contrast testers. I increased the size of the D in the 2nd set of maps below.
Larger font size for the "D":
-- Timeshifter ( talk) 17:38, 17 May 2024 (UTC)
You never know when an image may be used at standard thumb size (no pixels indicated in wikitext) in Wikipedia or off Wikipedia.
For logged-in users they set the thumbnail size here:
I don't think the enlarged D size looks cartoonish. The size of the enlarged "D" in the above map is the maximum size I would use because a larger size would not fit in the state of New Hampshire. If larger sizes were used in the other states I can see that it would look weird at a certain point. But the current SVG code only allows one to change the D size in all states. And I see no need to increase the D size more than I already did.
In cell phones the larger D size matters even more. The larger D size helps me see it clearly in all locations: thumbs, desktops, mobile, tablets, etc.. Here is 220px thumbnail:
I find the larger D essential for my ability to read it. I am sure many others will find it helpful too. If we were already at this larger D size, there would be people ticked off if it were reduced in size. Especially to the tiny size it is now.
On my iphone SE 2020 I can't read the small Ds at 350px. I have to break out the magnifying glass, or use pinch-zoom. I can read the larger Ds at 350px without any aids. -- Timeshifter ( talk) 14:40, 18 May 2024 (UTC)
I can miss the "D" on the small state of New Hampshire if not paying attention. Red text was especially bad. Whereas pure black stands out even at smaller map sizes. I don't have to squint, or make an effort.
On my iphone SE 2020 I can't read the small Ds at 350px. I have to break out the magnifying glass, or use pinch-zoom. I can read the larger Ds at 350px without any aids.
I don't get why you almost always seek minimum accessibility versus trying to make the maps more accessible.
The map was reverted from the lighter shades of blue and green back to the original darker shades at the request of TheTechnician27. Edit summary:
Reverted to version as of 13:01, 29 April 2024 (UTC). Discussion at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Maps favors the black text and higher contrast. TheTechnician27 and I favor the original background colors for now.
TheTechnician27 found the lighter shades to be washed out. The reversion also allowed me to go back to the pure black for the text. That pure black was also preferred at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Maps#Must the text used within maps always be pure black?
I preferred the pure black text against the dark green background. As opposed to the maroon text color you liked. The darker green was the background color at the time. I never said I was against the lighter green background. I fully intended to ask about using the lighter green later. As I am doing now.
Concerning the hatching (diagonal lines) discussed at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Maps#Diagonal striping alternating between white and a US state's background color you wrote (and I agreed):
Let's just leave the map the way it is.
That is the map with darker shades of blue and green. The map preferred by TheTechnician27.
You still haven't addressed the cell phone text size issues I brought up now. Do we need to go to Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Maps again so that people more concerned about accessibility can weigh in? Over 50 percent of website traffic is from cell phones. -- Timeshifter ( talk) 14:21, 19 May 2024 (UTC)
If I am right up on the monitor I can see the smaller D at 350px size. But if I am farther away, as I often am, then it is difficult. I am 3 feet away now, and it is difficult for me to make out the small D at 350px
On my iphone SE 2020 I can't read the small Ds at 350px. I have to break out the magnifying glass, or use pinch-zoom. I can read the larger Ds at 350px without any aids.
I can miss the "D" on the small state of New Hampshire if not paying attention. Red text was especially bad. Whereas pure black stands out even at smaller map sizes. I don't have to squint, or make an effort. This is even more important on cell phones.
In regards to the recent change with the following edit summary:
Reverted to version as of 06:15, 26 May 2024 (UTC). Jamesy0627144 has not said the larger D size is too big for his cell phone. Or that he is able to clearly see the smaller D on his cell phone.
!. Yes, size 27 D's is still too big whether using my cell phone or desktop.
2. Yes, size 17 D's are clearly visible on my cell phone. I have repeatedly said though that I wouldn't be opposed to increasing the size some. So I went ahead and increased the size to 19 instead of 27, and if you want to I think increasing the size to 20 would be OK too.-- Jamesy0627144 ( talk) 04:09, 1 June 2024 (UTC)
-- Timeshifter ( talk) 08:21, 1 June 2024 (UTC)
Do you not find the 27px "D" easier to distinguish on your cell phone at the 350px width below (as in Template:Legality of cannabis by US state)?
See: Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Maps#Ability to distinguish "D" on map on cell phones. -- Timeshifter ( talk) 08:49, 1 June 2024 (UTC)

Reverted to version as of 06:15, 26 May 2024 (UTC). Jamesy0627144 has not said the larger D size is too big for his cell phone. Or that he is able to clearly see the smaller D on his cell phone.
!. Yes, size 27 D's is still too big whether using my cell phone or desktop.
2. Yes, size 17 D's are clearly visible on my cell phone. I have repeatedly said though that I wouldn't be opposed to increasing the size some. So I went ahead and increased the size to 19 instead of 27, and if you want to I think increasing the size to 20 would be OK too.-- Jamesy0627144 ( talk) 04:09, 1 June 2024 (UTC)

Do you not find the 27px "D" easier to distinguish on your cell phone at the 350px width below (as in Template:Legality of cannabis by US state)?
