Editor's Note: Time's article presents a good look at the looming marijuana votes … with analysis of what each state's role is in pivoting the marijuana market forward (or back), as well as the status of polls in each state, which all could go either way at this point (enter advocacy groups and opponents spending big money to try to sway borderline votes). Important highlights:
- Florida's MMJ Amendment 2 requires a 60% supermajority in order to pass
- D.C. voters are likely to pass Initiative 71, but will Congress intervene?
- Re: Oregon's Measure 91: "a recent poll found that while 44% of likely voters support legalization, 40% oppose it."
- Support for Alaska's Ballot Measure 2 continues to hover around 50%, leaving room for lots of uncertainty.
Referendums across the country set the stage for an even bigger fight in 2016
Election Day this year will be big on pot.
