Pot advocates eye 2016

As two more states and the nation’s capital legalized the recreational use of cannabis during the election on Nov. 4, advocates in California are already making a push for 2016.

Plans to legalize and tax marijuana sales were approved by voters in Alaska, Oregon and Washington, D.C.—though Congress may overturn the voter-approved initiative in D.C.—joining Colorado and Washington in decriminalizing pot. In 2016, California will be the highest-profile state to vote on the issue, though voters in Arizona, Maine, Massachusetts and Nevada likely will see pot on the ballot as well, according to USA Today. Legalization advocates also are preparing legislative measures in Delaware, Hawaii, Maryland, New Hampshire, Rhode Island and Vermont.

Opponents to legalization aren’t giving up, however, as they point to the failed measure in Florida—which received 58 percent of the vote, but needed 60 percent to pass—and other smaller measures as evidence that the nation isn’t being swept by the movement.
