Marijuana legalization has been growing like a weed for the past two decades, but 2016 could prove to be its most monumental year yet. Although marijuana has gained 24 state approvals for medicinal use, and four states have legalized its recreational use, we could see up to 12 separate approvals for the currently illicit drug in November.

This expansion is especially important because current President Barack Obama has suggested that the best way to get the attention of Congress is to continue legalizing the drug at the state level. Doing so would eventually force lawmakers to reconsider the federal government's current Schedule 1 stance on the drug.

In total, voters in three states are guaranteed to vote on marijuana this November. Of the remaining nine states, one is a seeming lock to get a marijuana initiative on the ballot, while the remaining eight are still in the process of collecting signatures.

Blueberry (Hybrid)

Blueberry is a mostly indica hybrid that provides a pleasant and long-lasting high when smoked. This marijuana has a sweet fruity smell and tastes like blueberries. Dutch Passion's version of Blueberry, which was derived from the original Delta 9 Collection, won first place in the 2000 High Times Cannabis Cup in the mostly indica category.

BALTIMORE — Eugene Monroe made up his mind, his conviction steeled by obsessive research. He would advocate publicly for medical marijuana use in the NFL. He knew he would raise eyebrows inside a powerful, conservative institution. He understood it might jeopardize his career as a Baltimore Ravens offensive lineman.

And the first skeptic he faced was his wife, Nureya.

When Monroe first shared his self-appointed mission in December, Nureya was confused. She had understood marijuana as illegal and dangerous since childhood, and ever since they met at the University of Virginia, she’d known her husband as a heath-shake-chugging, gluten-free, dairy-free, pescatarian athlete who didn’t use marijuana.

Alert I received out of North Dakota:

The North Dakota Democratic Presidential caucus is around the corner, and regardless of which candidate you’re supporting, we encourage our friends to caucus for sensible marijuana policy reform!

You can start by reviewing the responses of both Democratic presidential candidates to the following question, which was asked and addressed as a result of our partnership with Change Politics:

“If elected, how would your administration address the current tension between state and federal marijuana laws?”

If you’d like more in-depth information on the presidential candidates, please see MPP’s website, which has information about all of the remaining candidates. MPP has assigned Sen. Bernie Sanders an A and former Secretary Hillary Clinton a B for their views on marijuana policy reform.

Please feel free to share this with your friends and family across the state, and remember to get out to caucus on Tuesday, June 7!

Sincerely,

Robert J. Capecchi
Director of Federal Policies
Marijuana Policy Project
