I'm not sure about the out-of-state possession laws. I have spoken to Alaska State Troopers many time after and while consuming marijuana. They have more important things to deal with than a little bit of grass. Law enforcement up here isn't like most of the lower 48. Outside of Anchorage and Fairbanks, law enforcement presence is very limited. We tent to police ourselves. Alcohol is more strictly regulated and enforced up here than mj.
It's pretty cool up here. Come on up and have a look around. If you enjoy mountains, rivers, the ocean, and fish, summer is your season. If you like skiing out of helicopters, snow machines, and snowcats, winter is your season. We try to keep a libertarian approach to laws.

LOL!!! Got me with that one!
I PERSONALLY prefer the summer months. Thinking back-packing, fishing, camping, etc.
i'm an ex-cop and watched Alaska State Troopers so i can see how the self-policing thing is your best bet up there. When the nearest trooper is hours or days out you kinda have to. i wish the whole damn country would follow your example! i assume one can own firearms and cannabis together too? Kinda NEED a gun in a lot of Alaska.
I don't know anyone that doesn't own firearms (in Alaska). The tie dyed hippie that lives in a van probably has a larger arsenal than most of the militant guys in Idaho.i wish the whole damn country would follow your example! i assume one can own firearms and cannabis together too?

Wow. You don't work for the State right? Trying to recruit residents? B/c that sounds like my kinda place! Seriously.I don't know anyone that doesn't own firearms (in Alaska). The tie dyed hippie that lives in a van probably has a larger arsenal than most of the militant guys in Idaho.
We eat what we kill. We also are not the top of the food chain. Folks get eaten around here if they don't keep a clean camp or stumble into the wrong alder patch.
The oil guys and the environmentalists get along up here. When you end up in a ditch @-10, you want to make sure that the only guy who can pull you out doesn't hate your guts.
As for grass, only the dickheads have a problem finding grass or dealing with LEO's. Golden rule applies.
That's why I retired here and why I'm raising my children here. You definately get what you give.
My house is about 5 minutes from an airstrip and about 7 minutes from a chairlift. It's constructed on rock and gravel with a healthy covering of topsoil from the Matanuska valley. It's 65 degrees outside right now and I'm rocking shorts and a Hawaiian shirt. There are several kids playing in our backyard while I'm putting finishing touches on a contract for some Bristol Bay sockeye.
My friends up north are dealing with breakup (rivers flooding, ice dams breaking and rebuilding, etc...) Springtime in Alaska is a beautiful time.
There were 3 moose in the yard this morning when I woke up. The warm weather and scarce protein has the black bear and brown bear getting a bit feisty. That forces a fair share of the moose into populated areas. I found a half eaten black bear yesterday. The brownie tracks beside him were the size of a basketball. Hungry bear eat smaller bear.
Contracts are boring. I think I'll fly down to Seward and scope out some Grey whales, Humpbacks, and orcas.
Cheers.
LOL! i just said the same thing.Well talk about Alaska Envy.. I gots it...
