As polls opened across the country Tuesday morning, voters in California, Massachusetts, Arizona, Maine and Nevada each faced ballot initiatives that differ in detail, but all have the same end goal in mind: legalizing the growth, sale, transportation and use of marijuana. Four other states — Arkansas, Florida, Montana and North Dakota — will vote on legalizing medical marijuana.


they would join colorado, washington, oregon and alaska

quote:

A recent study found that in 2015, marijuana legalization injected Colorado with nearly $120 million in new tax revenue from nearly $1 billion in sales. That led to $2.39 billion of economic impact, the study found, through the creation of 18,000 new jobs, business-to-business transactions and indirect job creation.

CNN just ran an XM radio segment saying in 10 years the estimated tax revenue will be $55billion (not sure where that # came from)

As I said before legalize it and tax it. Also impose harsher penalties for those under the influence behind the wheel. With option such as Uber and Lyft no reason to be fricked up behind the wheel

One of the very few things I hate about this state is how slow it will be to legalize marijuana

On a serious note, my dad has severe back problems due to degenerative arthritis. He's been prescribed opiods, but he won't take anything stronger than aspirin, which I think is a wise, if painful choice for him. I think marijuana would do him some good.

Sheldon Adelson put a bunch of money to not pass it. It's gonna be really close, the pro prop 2 side had a really good TV campaign here and nothing on the negative outside of Facebook ads.

We passed it medically a year ago and most employers will accept a medical card to remove pot from what you're tested for. They'll still test for harder things but if you fail due to pot and have a card you're ok.
