Arkansas had two competing medical amendments up this time. One got bumped off by a state supreme court challenge in the middle of the first week of early voting, and the lady that was organizing the dead one is sour graping it big time and isn't going to support the remaining one.

Is there any truth to the anti-MMJ side in Florida when they say it would be like California's system? I thought Amendment 2 was going to be strictly limited but I was reading their website and getting all excited.

RI governor, again a state without ballot initiatives, says she's improving oversight of their MMJ program in preparation for eventual Recreational in RI. Their legislature has looked at it a few times but I imagine ME and MA legalizing will really give them a push. VT and RI are the next ones to watch. http://turnto10.com/news/local/rhode-island-governor-watches-massachusetts-marijuana-ballot

Karl Barks posted:new hampshire, live free or die, unless you want to smoke weed Get involved with your local chapter of NORML. Your state is small so even just a few people can have an outsized effect. When DC had to turn in signatures to get legalization on the ballot, I personally collected 2% of what we needed in valid signatures, so small places can be easy to sway. Decrim keeps repeatedly failing in NH, so if you and a few friends can show up at hearings dressed like sober adults, that can make a difference. NH has a strong favoring for legal (like 60+%) and the House keeps passing weak decrim and the Senate smacking them down. Email NH NORML, get on their email lists, go to events and take some friends. And if it's an event that's supposed to sway the public or lawmakers, and not just internal socializing, then look clean cut and be ready to make short articulate statements in favor.

I wanted to google up and post some cool animated map showing the changes in US weed law by year, but even maps that stop just a couple years ago are hugely out of date. To put it another way, only 7 states and 2 US territories have zero form of Legal, Decrim, MMJ, or CBD oil. The remaining sticks in the mud: American Samoa, Arkansas, Idaho, Indiana, Kansas, North Dakota, Northern Mariana Islands, South Dakota, West Virginia Or another way, the entire American South save Arkansas has some form of usable weed product, and Arkansas is voting on Medical next week, which could put them up there into full MMJ. The only other Southern state with full MMJ is Louisiana for whatever baffling reason.

What was his rationale? loving *Oklahoma* has some kind of half-assed CBD measure, I'm baffled that a Rocky Mountain state somehow can't beat Kansas. I'm so looking forward to seeing the updated maps after Election Night, watching that color creep in from the margins and the pale bits fill in at the center...

I've moved out of DC, but as I understand it despite weed being legal to grow/gift/possess/use they're still banned from setting up a retail framework by Congress. Interesting angle though: DC Council is trying to set up a reciprocity law allowIng non-residents with a qualifying condition or MMJ card from another jurisdiction to buy from DC dispensaries: http://blog.tenthamendmentcenter.com/2016/10/washington-d-c-bill-would-allow-medical-marijuana-reciprocity-with-other-states/

The shitload of money being dumped into fighting it 2. The electorate here going full retard on literally everything else

Crowsbeak posted:I wonder if we got to a tipping point where say it was legalized in enough states that a court ruling could legalize it. The Courts would never touch overturning state bans on a drug. The federal ban would be slightly more believable...although I suspect that once a tipping point is reached the federal weed ban is falling rapidly anyway. Remember, Mississippi left alcohol illegal on a state level until the 1960s. States can ban substances.

Huh, yet another blast-from-the-past reason to dislike Pence:quote:In February 2013, a bill to decriminalize small amounts of marijuana was killed in committee. Following that, the Senate offered an amendment to the previously-approved House Bill 1006, which had included decreased penalties for cannabis possession, with an amendment to instead raise certain types of possession from misdemeanors to felonies. Governor Mike Pence stated: "I think we need to focus on reducing crime, not reducing penalties."[1]
