Multiple States to Vote on Key Marijuana Legalization Measures in November 2024

LOS ANGELES- The November 5, 2024 election is set to be a critical moment for cannabis law reform, with several states considering ballot initiatives that could reshape marijuana policies across the U.S. Key states include Florida, where Amendment 3 could legalize recreational cannabis for adults 21 and older, allowing the purchase of up to three ounces of cannabis. Polling suggests strong support for the measure, with over 60% of voters in favor, a threshold necessary for passing the constitutional amendment.

In Nebraska, voters will decide on two medical marijuana initiatives, which, if approved, would establish a regulated medical cannabis program. Polls indicate that approximately 70% of Nebraskans support the legalization of medical cannabis. South Dakota and North Dakota will also vote on recreational marijuana initiatives, with both states revisiting legalization efforts after previous attempts were overturned or rejected. South Dakota’s Measure 29 focuses on personal use and cultivation, while North Dakota’s Measure 5 includes possession limits to help differentiate legal from illicit marijuana activity.

These elections will significantly influence the future landscape of cannabis regulation, with states like Arkansas and Oregon also considering measures related to medical cannabis and worker protections in the cannabis industry. This widespread voter engagement underscores the growing momentum for cannabis reform nationwide.
