All 5 of These Cannabis Legalization Measures Passed!
I’ve heard some cannabis growers comment that these laws aren’t perfect. I agree. And even if they were perfect, the fight isn’t over until the United States government legalizes weed on a federal level. However, this is time for celebration because as these measures pass, fewer people go to jail for a plant that humans have used for thousands of years. We must continue the fight to create better laws, but also celebrate victories where justice is being restored.
