1 in 3 Americans Now Live in a State , Where Recreational Marijuana Is Legal.
Voters in four states approved
ballot measures to legalize
marijuana on Election Day.
16 million residents
of Arizona, Montana,
New Jersey and South Dakota .
now join the 93 million
Americans who already
lived in states where
cannabis had been legalized.
Several other states were expected to
pass similar measures, but campaigns
failed due to issues created by the pandemic.
Advocates say that the move toward
legalization in both red and blue states demands
uniform action from the federal government.
Regardless of who controls the White House, the House and the Senate, we should demand landmark federal marijuana reform in 2021, Steve Hawkins, Marijuana Policy Project,
via Politico.
Advocates also consider the
passage of marijuana legalization ballots
as victories for criminal justice reform
