Marijuana

Voters in five states will have the opportunity to change their state’s laws relating to marijuana. Ballot initiatives in Colorado, Oregon and Washington ask voters whether the states should legalize and create a government entity to regulate the sale of marijuana. Both Arkansas and Massachusetts have ballot initiatives seeking to legalize marijuana for medical purposes.
