Good discussion of the next four states for marijuana legalization
It's been only two months since Washington and Colorado voters
legalized recreational marijuana, but the advocates who raised
millions to pass Amendment 64 and Initiative 502 aren't wasting
time celebrating. In addition to helping craft the rules and
regulations in the Centennial and Evergreen states, they're also
providing support to state legislators who will introduce marijuana
bills—more than 20 altogether—in 2013.
"While not all of them will pass," says Morgan Fox of the
Marijuana Policy Project (MPP), the debates around them will be
different than in years past. "What I'm hearing is that a dam
broke," says Jill Harris, managing director of strategic
initiatives for the Drug Policy Alliance (DPA). "Before Colorado
and Washington, the idea of legal marijuana existed in the realm of
fantasy. But after Colorado and Washington, we can have a more
serious conversation."
