[QUOTE="Catatonic, post: 2461403, member: 7966"] Nine (9) ballot initiatives were up for vote during the November 8th election. Arizona narrowly (48 - 52) lost but the other 8 passed. Will Trump appoint an Attorney general that will respect a State's right to determine cannabis legality? Christy as AG would not be good for Cannabis reform. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [URL='http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/elections/2016/11/08/legal-pot-death-penalty-top-lengthy-list-ballot-initiatives/93202670/']USA Today Article[/URL] American voters widely backed loosening marijuana laws across the country on Tuesday, permitting recreational use on both coasts, and dramatically expanding the number of people who can use pot as medicine or just for fun. "This is the most important moment in the history of the marijuana legalization movement," said Tom Angell, a spokesman for the pro-legalization Marijuana Majority. California, Massachusetts, Maine and Nevada voters approved recreational legalization. [COLOR=#404040]Arizona voters appeared to have rejected recreational legalization.[/COLOR] On the medical side, Florida, Arkansas, and North Dakota all voted in favor of medical cannabis, and Montana appeared likely to also approve it. ... 29 states will now permit cannabis use for certain medical conditions, including cancer and HIV, and eight will permit recreational use, as does the District of Columbia. “Most voters do not think otherwise law-abiding citizens should be criminalized for using a product that is much safer than alcohol," said Rob Kampia, the executive director of the pro-legalization Marijuana Policy Project. "There is a general consensus that law enforcement should be fighting serious crimes rather than enforcing failed and deeply unpopular policies.” [/QUOTE]
