During Tuesday’s election, marijuana and drug policy reforms were on the ballot across the country. Five more states legalized cannabis in some form and Oregon became the first state to legalize psilocybin mushrooms for therapy and also more broadly decriminalize drug possession. While the Presidential and many congressional races are still being tallied, these marijuana reforms passed decisively, even in conservative states. With the addition of Arizona, Montana, New Jersey, and South Dakota as adult-use marijuana states, one-third of the U.S. population will live in a state where cannabis is legal after the laws take effect.
