Also worth noting- of the 12 states on the map that haven't legalized medical or recreational marijuana, 10 of them do not allow direct citizen initiative (ballot) process. That means the citizens have to rely fully on the small state legislative to make the laws - so if they are right wing, christo-fascists, anti-democracy......then we're screwed. It's another reason why abortion is not getting on the ballot these states, as 31 states do not allow direct citizen ballots. With the exception of Arkansas, who is now refusing to put abortion on the ballot in November, even though Arkansas For Limited Government greatly surpassed all the signature requirements and DID train volunteers and DID get all paperwork submitted.......Arkansas is ran by christo-fascists......claiming "training paperwork issues" for their reason to deny the ballot. That's a lie. It's completely anti-democratic.

If you don't like pot, don't smoke it.

If you think abortion isn't for you, don't get one.

The Republicans just can't stay the fuck out our business. They want back to 1800.

I can't wait until we can fix this. Such an incredible missed opportunity.

I feel they just don't want to look wrong after persecuting users of this drug so hard for so long. We're already legalizing online sports gambling and I'd argue those results are worse. Their religious filter is applied to law at their discretion.
