Ballot measures for legal marijuana planned for five more states

http://blog.mpp.org/prohibition/the-marijuana-policy-project-is-already-gearing-up-for-2016/11062014/#sthash.zxRF2Mq8.dpuf

The five states where MPP has already established committees to push ballot measures in 2016 are Arizona, California, Maine, Massachusetts, and Nevada. The measures will likely be similar to the Colorado model, just as the measures in Oregon and Alaska were.

MPP also plans to work to help make marijuana legal through state legislatures, rather than ballot measures. The states that we are focusing on include Rhode Island, Vermont, New Hampshire, Delaware, Hawaii, and Maryland.

Time to pardon all non violent drug offenders.

I gotta tell you as a Colorado resident and pot smoker, it's a whole new world when you don't have to look over your shoulder every 5 minutes. Not to mention never having to worry if your "guy" has stock. Straight to the store!! The only thing that sucks is going from state to state (I travel for a living) where what I was doing was legal this morning is now illegal this afternoon..

You can always count on a Republican changing their mind when they see dollar signs..

Our Governor didn't want it either but when the people voted for it he did his job, and did it well considering he was against it..
