Advances for cannabis in midterm elections

leafThe Nov. 8 midterm elections saw mixed results for state cannabis legalization efforts. In Maryland, voters approved Question 4, amending the state constitution to permit the purchase and possession of up to 1.5 ounces. In Missouri, Amendment 3 passed, allowing adults to purchase and possess up to three ounces, with a provision for registered home cultivation. Similar measures failed in Arkansas and North and South Dakota. (Vox, CNBC)


Prohibitionists attempted to block the Missouri and Arkansas measures in the courts, and legalization advocates were themselves divided on the Arkansas measure, with some feeling it gave away too much to corporate cannabis. (Marijuana Moment Arkansas Online)
