What an overwhelming victory for marijuana last night!
We went 3-for-3 on marijuana legalization in Washington DC, passed medical marijuana in Guam and won a huge, albeit losing majority for medical marijuana in Florida, passed defelonization in California, went 1-for-2 in legalization cities in Maine and 2-for-2 in decriminalization counties in New Mexico. The only bad news comes for towns in California and Colorado that voted either to limit or ban retail marijuana or heavily tax it.
