Voters In 5 States Decide Whether To Legalize Marijuana
Newsy
The proposals are on the ballot in Arkansas, Maryland, Missouri, North Dakota and South Dakota, following Biden's effort towards decriminalization.
Voters in five states are deciding on Election Day whether to approve recreational marijuana, a move that could signal a major shift toward legalization in even the most conservative parts of the country.
The proposals are on the ballot in Arkansas, Maryland, Missouri, North Dakota and South Dakota and follow moves by President Joe Biden toward decriminalizing marijuana. President Biden last month announced he was pardoning thousands of Americans convicted of simple possession of marijuana under federal law.
Advocates of the marijuana initiatives have said President Biden's announcement may give a boost to their efforts.
