Mixed Results for Cannabis Legalization in Recent State Ballots
TL;DR Summary
In recent cannabis legalization votes, Florida and South Dakota rejected measures to legalize recreational marijuana, with Florida's proposal failing to meet the 60% threshold despite majority support. North Dakota also voted against a similar measure. However, Nebraska approved two measures to legalize and regulate medical marijuana, though these results may face legal challenges regarding the validity of collected signatures. The federal process to reschedule marijuana as a less dangerous drug continues.
