State Cannabis Legalization Roundup

 


Use of cannabis:

When Colorado and Washington legalized the recreational use of cannabis back in 2012, it was a big deal. Many people assumed that others states would follow suit, but it didn’t really happen. Until recently. Here’s a state-by-state roundup of where things stand as of 2018.

Cannabis in Different Form:

In the USA, more than half of the states have legalized cannabis in some form. Some states allow use of cannabis for recreational use and some for medical use. Some states denoted both. Here is a list of states that legalized cannabis.

Marijuana:

Recreational marijuana use is now legal in 10 states and the District of Columbia. Marijuana legalization has been a hot topic in the United States for many years, but in recent years it has been gaining momentum. It started with Oregon and Alaska voting to legalize the use of recreational marijuana i
n 2014, and in 2016 four more states had ballot measures to legalize the drug for recreational use. Only two of the ballot measures were successful, but in 2017 the momentum for legalization continued with another five states voting to legalize recreational marijuana.

States are California:

Those states are California, Massachusetts and Maine, who all voted to legalize it through ballot measures; and Vermont and Nevada, who legalized it through the legislature. Also in 2017, Florida, Montana and North Dakota voted to legalize medical marijuana. The two states that were unsuccessful in legalizing marijuana for recreational use in 2016, New York and Ohio, both have marijuana legalization measures in their upcoming 2018 election campaigns. The following is a state-by-state breakdown of the current state of cannabis legalization.

SAFE Banking Act:

Okay, so first things first, technically, it’s called the SAFE Banking Act, but it’s really just a three word title that basically enacts a policy of the same name. The bill was introduced by Rep. Ed Perlmutter (D-CO) and has gained the support of several other House Democrats as well as Republican Thomas Massie of Kentucky. It’s currently sitting in the House Financial Services Committee, which is a good sign, as the bill would need to move to the House floor before it could go to the Senate for a vote.
