Pondering marijuana reform echoes after another historic election cycle

I briefly flagged here a few days ago the remarkable success of drug policy reform ballot initiatives in red and blue states nationwide.  And the success particularly of marijuana reform initatives in Arizona, Mississippi. Montana, New Jersey, and South Dakota has me thinking and writing a lot about what’s next in this space over at Marijuana Law, Policy & Reform.  Specifically, I have been blogging reactions to marijuana’s big election night via these new posts:

• Some (too early) speculations on the (uncertain) future of marijuana reform after big state wins Election Night 2020

• After big (red) marijuana reforms, is it time for a Raich 2.0 challenge to federal marijuana prohibition?

• What a difference a decade makes: recalling marijuana reform efforts in 2010 California and now in 2020 South Dakota

• Noticing how marijuana reform contributes to regulator diversity even with much equity work ahead

• In what states (and how quickly) might we now see marijuana reform through the traditional legislative process?
