All The States That Are Voting To Legalize Recreational Marijuana in 2016

United States of Weed demystifies all the cannabis legislation for Election 2016. Learn about states voting on medical marijuana here.
This is a critical time for marijuana legislation in the US. There are more people openly using marijuana than ever before, and fewer people think it's risky. Marijuana arrests are dropping, and there is a countrywide push to decriminalize cannabis so that our overburdened prison system isn't full of minor drug offenses.
Even so, the fight is hardly over. The federal government continues to classify marijuana as a Schedule I drug, which means they still think it has high potential for abuse and no accepted medical use.
Motherboard reporters looked at the five states that could legalize recreational cannabis this year, and how they fit into the national trend.
Arizona
If Proposition 205 passes, it would legalize the possession and use of up to one ounce of marijuana for adults over the age of 21, as well as the ability to grow up to six marijuana plants in a household. The passage of 205 would also establish the Department of Marijuana Licenses and Control, which would regulate everything from the testing to the sale of recreational marijuana in the state.
Read more about Proposition 205 here.
California
If passed, Proposition 64 would legalize recreational marijuana use and minor possession of less than a gram for adults 21 and older. Sales, distribution, agriculture and other facets of the recreational marijuana industry would be regulated and taxed. The ballot measure would also allow for past convictions of low-level marijuana crimes to be resentenced or expunged under the new law, according to the official state voter’s guide.
Read more about Proposition 64 here.
Massachusetts
If Massachusetts voters approve Question 4, marijuana will be legal in the state and it will be regulated like alcohol. Adults 21 and over would be allowed to have one ounce of weed on them in public and up to 10 ounces at home. The law would also allow for the home grow of six plants per adult, with a limit of 12 plants per household. The law would go into effect on December 15, but business licenses would not be issued until October 1, 2017.
Read more about Question 4 here.
Maine
If approved, Maine’s Question 1 would legalize marijuana use for adults over the age of 21. Individuals would be allowed to purchase, transport and possess up to 2.5 ounces of weed at a time. It also allows for the possession of six mature plants, 12 immature plants and an unlimited number of seedlings. It would still be illegal to use marijuana in “nonpublic” places, but that term is undefined in the bill and the maximum fine for a violation is $100.
Read more about Question 1 here.
Nevada
If Question 2 passes, marijuana will be legal for adults over the age of 21. It would allow Nevadans to possess up to one ounce of flower or one eighth of an ounce of cannabis concentrate, as well as cultivate up to six marijuana plants in a locked enclosure. The regulation of marijuana would be funded through a 15 percent excise tax on all recreational pot sales—after the costs of regulating the ‘budding’ industry are covered, all remaining revenue from recreational marijuana sales will be distributed to Nevadan schools.

Ehh, its cause your not from the area. I can get pot a dollar a gram from Maine right now, 2 dollars a gram from Cali. But if someone were to go to Cali from here and ask for bud, they'd get charged top dollar, vice versa.

AZ and NV don't allow med grows within 25 miles of a dispensary, which is basically everywhere. The same rule with rec is a bummer.

Nevada passes legalization!
https://lasvegassun.com/news/2016/nov/08/recreational-marijuana-use-okd-by-nevada-voters/
Nevadans voted Tuesday to legalize recreational marijuana for adults ages 21 and over. The passing of Question 2, by a margin of six points according to early polling results, allows for the legal purchase of up to 1 ounce of marijuana or up to one-eighth ounce of marijuana concentrates such as wax, carbon dioxide oil and shatter.

plus Mass. and Fla MMJ passed. This is great news for the East coast.
Once Gov Christie moves to DC maybe NJ will legalize http://www.njleg.state.nj.us/2016/Bills/A2500/2068_I1.HTM.

Quote:
from http://www.drugpolicy.org/ :
California and Massachusetts just legalized the adult use of marijuana!
Massachusetts is the first state in the Northeast to legalize marijuana, and as the most populous state in America, California will be the largest legal marijuana economy in the world.
Earlier tonight, Florida, North Dakota, and Arkansas legalized medical marijuana.
Initiatives to legalize marijuana in Maine, Arizona, and Nevada are currently too close to call.
Florida is the first state in the South to legalize the medical use of marijuana. Individuals with cancer, epilepsy, glaucoma, HIV, AIDS, PTSD, ALS, Crohn's disease, Parkinson's disease, multiple sclerosis, or other debilitating medical conditions as determined by a physician will be able to purchase and use medical marijuana.

Don't know why everyone is so excited. It's looking like Trump is going to name Rudy "stop & frisk" Guiliani as his attorney general. While unfortunately there are too many people dumb enough to vote for Trump on this board, I'd hope that folks aren't so dumb that they actually think Rudy will maintain the hands off policy towards legal states.
