🏛️ Republican leadership allowed popular legislation to languish despite overwhelming public support. Democratic gains now offer a renewed opportunity to end federal prohibition and advance meaningful protections for consumers. Americans across the political spectrum have made their position clear. It's time for Congress to act. 🔗 Link to full story in first comment.

🎉 MAJOR MARIJUANA VICTORY: Idaho voters soundly rejected HJR 4, state lawmakers' attempt to have their constituents forfeit their right to decide on marijuana legalization. "HJR 4 wasn't anti-marijuana; it was anti-democracy," NORML's Deputy Director Paul Armentano said. "Idaho lawmakers know that they can no longer make a rational case for the state's prohibitive and punitive marijuana policies – policies that are out of step not only with most other states, but also with most Idahoans. "Rather than evolve their views to align with those of their constituents, Idaho lawmakers cynically asked Idahoans to relinquish one of the most fundamental powers they have in a free society: their power to vote. Fortunately, voters rejected this authoritarian proposal." 🔗 Link to full story in first comment.

🎉 MAJOR MARIJUANA VICTORY: Massachusetts voters overwhelmingly rejected Question 8, the prohibitionist-funded ballot measure seeking to repeal the state's voter-approved legalization law. "There's no 'buyer's remorse' among voters when it comes to legalizing and regulating marijuana," NORML's Deputy Director Paul Armentano said. "In fact, more Massachusetts voters support legalization today than did a decade ago, and these election results prove it." 🔗 Link to full story in first comment.

🚨 Question 8 is not about promoting the health and safety of Massachusetts residents; it is a trial balloon by a prohibitionist interest group intent upon rolling back legal cannabis markets nationwide. Twenty-four states now regulate adult-use marijuana markets. None of these jurisdictions have ever repealed their legalization laws. Massachusetts must not be the first. 🔗 Link on how to help defeat Question 8 in first comment.

🚨 The ballot question asks Idahoans to relinquish their right to ever vote on legalization and to hand over sole authority to state lawmakers. The message behind HJR 4 cannot be clearer. State officials don't trust voters to do their bidding on the issue of cannabis. 🔗 Link to story in comments.
