An August memo from US Deputy Attorney General James Cole stated that the federal government will not attempt to interfere with Washington and Colorado’s efforts to implement marijuana legalization laws passed by state voters.
Currently, 20 states and the District of Columbia have passed laws legalizing medicinal marijuana use for patients who receive written permission from a doctor.
Several states are planning legalization ballot initiatives set for 2017, including California, Alaska, Arizona and Oregon. Other states, including Rhode Island and Hawaii, are planning legalization initiatives for 2016 to coincide with the next presidential election.
“Because of Colorado and Washington, it’s created a cannabis tidal wave across the country,” marijuana activist Mike Jolson said in an interview with Bloomberg. “We want to capitalize on this wave.”
据美国媒体10月22日报道,权威调查机构盖洛普公司发布的一份最新民调结果显示,高达58%的美国民众支持将休闲娱乐用大麻合法化。
仅在过去一年,美国民众对大麻合法化的支持率就攀升了超过10个百分点。盖洛普公司认为,这一民调结果证明大麻倡导者取得了“空前的成功”,并预示着他们将为大麻合法化继续不懈努力,“不论是什么原因导致美国人对大麻的接受度提高,这都将成为一种动力、在全美范围内激起更广泛的倡导大麻合法化运动”。
