Possession of marijuana is a federal crime. It is therefore against the law in the entire US.
California and a few other states have introduced medical marijuana or have decriminalized possession of small amounts of marijuana, but since federal law trumps state law, it is still a crime everywhere. However, the federal government limits enforcement of drug crimes to only the large distributors. It is unlikely that a person possessing less than an ounce of MJ will be charged federally, so in a state that allows or does not enforce it, people can easily get away with it.
