Congratulations are in order to the voters who have gained the freedoms they want and deserve!
- All marijuana legalization initiatives on ballots in the November 3rd, 2020 election passed by a wide margin.
Mississippi voters legalized medical marijuana. So did the voters of South Dakota, who at the same time legalized recreational marijuana along with Arizona, Montana and New Jersey! The states’ legislatures still need to work out many of the details, things like whether home growing is allowed. But any form of legalization is certainly a step in the right direction.
- This brings the number of states with legalized medical marijuana up to 34 and the states with legalized recreational marijuana up to 15 (plus Washington DC).
Let’s hear it for grass roots movements!
Regardless of what else comes from this election, we think today is a good day to celebrate with some herb!

This time, it may have only been five states, but it goes to show, its just a matter of time, marijuana legalization is coming to your state too!
On that note… Pennsylvania‘s governor Tom Wolf has once again called on the state’s legislature to legalize recreational marijuana (October 13, 2020). Way to go Tom! Perhaps Pennsylvania will be the next state to legalize. Wouldn’t it be refreshing if a state legislature made laws that follow what the people want, instead of forcing the people to bring on the change themselves with ballot measures?
Marijuana legalization has been moving pretty quickly here in North America.
Look up your state’s legalization details here.
But don’t forget, we still have a lot of work to do. If you’re involved with furthering marijuana legalization in your state or district, please let others know how they can help – comment below!
