I’ve worked hard to help legalize, tax, and regulate marijuana for adult recreational use in Washington State (where I live) and in Oregon. This November, Maine voters will have the opportunity to approve a ballot initiative that will end prohibition and replace it with a sensible marijuana policy in their state too.
News out of Anchorage and Denver this week was good for marijuana smokers, as both the city of Denver and the state of Alaska moved closer to the legalization of marijuana social clubs.
The Secretary of State determined today that initiative proponents, The Campaign to Regulate Marijuana Like Alcohol, gathered a sufficient number of signatures from registered voters to qualify the measure for the November ballot.
The National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws (NORML) is pleased to announce our endorsement of the MILegalize 2016 initiative to regulate the adult use, production and retail sale of marijuana in Michigan.
I’ve worked hard to help legalize, tax, and regulate marijuana for adult recreational use in Washington State (where I live) and in Oregon. I was proud of these laws; they won because they were what I consider “public safety” laws — rather than “pro-pot” laws — and our communities are thankful they passed. California is voting on an even smarter law this November and when this passes, I believe the country will follow and our federal government’s long and stubborn war on marijuana will be history.
Being the most populated state in the country, as well as one of the world’s largest economies, California is arguably the most important state to consider marijuana legalization this year. With such high stakes however, comes disagreement and misinformation. That’s why NORML wants to help familiarize Californians with the AUMA, and how it’s passage will improve the lives of average Californians. And we’re going to need your help to do that!
While we all experience what has become an especially unpleasant campaign season, at least it appears that we need not worry that the results of the campaign will undermine the legalization movement, regardless of who eventually wins.
