2018 Marijuana Policy Reform Legislation
https://www.mpp.org/states/key-marijuana-policy-reform/Last updated: January 23, 2018
With polls showing that 64% of Americans support making marijuana use legal and around 90% support for allowing medical marijuana, lawmakers are increasingly realizing the public supports marijuana policy reforms.
Already, in the first three weeks of 2018, Vermont has become the first state to legalize marijuana legislatively, and the New Hampshire House of Representatives approved a similar bill. Vermont’s new law will allow adults to grow and possess a limited amount of marijuana beginning on July 1, 2018, while a task force continues to explore regulating and taxing sales. Meanwhile, New Jersey’s incoming governor has made legalizing, regulating, and taxing marijuana a goal of his administration. Other states may follow suit.
Several other states are considering allowing medical marijuana or replacing possible jail time with fines for marijuana possession.
The below lists state bills to adopt new laws to legalize marijuana for adults, to adopt comprehensive medical marijuana laws, or to replace possible jail time with fines for marijuana possession.

West Virginia (HB 3035)
Several more bills are expected, including in Connecticut, Maryland, New Jersey, and Rhode Island. Meanwhile, eight states have already passed laws to regulate marijuana like alcohol — all by ballot initiative.
Bills to Remove Possible Jail Time — Often Imposing a Fine — for Simple Possession (“Decriminalization”)
States with bills to stop jailing those who possess small amounts of marijuana: 7
Arizona (H 2014)
Florida (HB 1203)

Tennessee (HB 830, SB 1119)
Additional bills are expected and Oklahoma voters will decide the fate of a medical marijuana ballot measure in June. Efforts are also underway to qualify measures for the November ballots in Missouri and Utah. Twenty-nine states, D.C., Puerto Rico, and Guam already have effective medical marijuana laws.
Don’t see your state?
If you live in a state that still prohibits marijuana and no lawmakers have taken the lead to change that, send your state legislators a note to ask them to stand up for humane and sensible marijuana policies. Take a few moments to email them in support of medical marijuana, decriminalization, or legalizing and regulating marijuana. And wherever you live, please ask your member of Congress and U.S. senators to support legislation to protect individuals who are complying with state medical marijuana and legalization laws.

54 lawmakers send letter urging Trump to restore Obama-era pot guidelines

Yahoo News•January 25, 2018
A group of lawmakers led by Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., and Rep. Jared Polis, D-Colo., sent a letter to President Trump on Wednesday urging him to restore Obama-era guidelines that allowed states to determine their own marijuana laws.
Earlier this month, Attorney General Jeff Sessions rescinded the Cole Memorandum, a 2013 directive from the Obama administration that directed U.S. attorneys to place a “low priority” on enforcing federal marijuana laws in states that have legalized pot. To date, nine states (Alaska, California, Colorado, Maine, Massachusetts, Nevada, Oregon, Vermont and Washington) and the District of Columbia have passed laws allowing the recreational use of marijuana. Dozens more have passed laws legalizing it for medicinal use.
Sessions’ decision to rescind the guidelines, the lawmakers said, “will have a chilling effect” in those states.
“This action by the Department of Justice has the potential to unravel efforts to build sensible drug policies that encourage economic development as we finally move away from antiquated practices that have hurt disadvantaged communities,” reads the two-page letter, which was signed by 54 members of Congress, 51 of them Democrats. Three Republicans — Alaska Rep. Don Young, California Rep. Dana Rohrabacher and Florida Rep. Matt Gaetz — signed it, too.
The lawmakers pointed out that as a candidate Trump signaled that he would leave marijuana laws “up to the states.”
In October, a Gallup survey found that 64 percent of Americans believe marijuana use should be legal — the highest level of public support for the proposal in nearly a half-century of Gallup polling on the subject.
The letter urged Trump to follow the “will of the voters” and allow states to “provide common sense, responsible regulations for marijuana that balance public health and public safety needs with limited criminal justice resources.”
Polis and Sen. Cory Gardner, R-Colo., who threatened to block all nominees to Justice Department posts in response to Sessions’ decision, sent a similar letter to Trump on Jan. 4, the day Sessions rescinded the Cole memo.
“I’m prepared to hold every Justice Department nominee until Jeff Sessions lives up to what he told me, lives up to his commitment,” Gardner told Yahoo News the same day.
The Colorado Republican said that, prior to confirmation as attorney general, Sessions had assured him that the Trump administration would not be harsh on the state-driven push toward legalization.
“Jeff Sessions told me this wouldn’t be a priority. Jeff Sessions told me the policy would not be reversed, and today Jeff Sessions went back on his word,” Gardner said. “He said, ‘This is just not something that President Trump is focused on.’ And apparently, it’s not just a focus, it’s a primary initiative of the new year.”
A subsequent meeting with Sessions did nothing to assuage Gardner’s concerns.
“The meeting went as I expected it,” Gardner told NBC’s Chuck Todd shortly after his sit-down with Sessions. “He’s going to hold his position for now; I’m going to hold my position.”
“I’m somebody that didn’t support the legalization of marijuana in Colorado,” Gardner said. “But I also think it’s necessary to protect that state decision.”
Last March, a bipartisan group of senators, including Warren and Lisa Murkowski, R-Alaska, asked the Justice Department to uphold the Obama-era policy allowing individual states to determine their own pot laws after then-White House press secretary Sean Spicer suggested that the Trump administration might press for “greater enforcement” of federal pot laws.
“We respectfully request that you uphold DOJ’s existing policy regarding states that have implemented strong and effective regulations for recreational marijuana use,” the senators wrote in a letter to Sessions. “It is critical that states continue to implement these laws.”
“When @realDonaldTrump ran for president he said marijuana policies should be left up to states,” Warren tweeted on Thursday. “He should stick to his word and let states implement their own regulations – upending them only creates confusion, and puts our public health & safety at risk.”

Just legalize it already, rather than going back and forth, playing childish games. Put the Mexican and S. American drug cartels out of the marijuana business, keep the money at home.
It's already a multi-billion dollar business in states where it has been legaluzed.

NBC/WSJ poll: 60 percent of Americans now support marijuana legalization
by RENEE HICKMAN
WASHINGTON — A growing majority of Americans support the legalization of recreational marijuana, though divides continue to exist along party lines, according to the most recent NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll.
In a survey conducted at the beginning of a year in which several states are expected to vote on marijuana legalization, 60 percent of respondents supported allowing adults to buy marijuana for personal use. When NBC News and The Wall Street Journal asked the same question in 2014, that number was 55 percent.
A broad majority of Democrats — 73 percent — supported legalization, as well as 64 percent of independents. By contrast, only 43 percent of Republican respondents said they supported legalization. Among voters who supported President Donald Trump in 2016, the number was even lower, at 37 percent.
Age made a significant difference in the likelihood that respondents would support legalization, with support dropping as the age of respondents rose. Seventy-three percent of respondents aged 18-34 supported legalization, compared to 67 percent of those aged 35-49, and 54 percent aged 50-64. But among those 65 or older, only a minority supported legalization, at 38 percent.
While a majority of both men and women supported legalization, the data also showed an overall gender gap. Sixty-four percent of men supported legalization, while 57 percent of women were in favor. That difference was mostly evident, however, among older Americans. Among men and women under 50, the numbers were fairly even at 71 and 70 percent, respectively.
As support for legalization has increased, Americans have continued to view marijuana as relatively safe when compared with alcohol, tobacco and sugar. In 2014, 8 percent of respondents to the poll ranked marijuana as the most dangerous substance in the group, a share which held about steady at 9 percent in the latest survey.
In this election year, a number of groups in states from Michigan to Missouri are looking to put marijuana legalization initiatives on the ballot. State legislators have also begun introducing bills after Vermont became the first state to legalize marijuana through its legislature rather than through a ballot initiative.
This is only the start of a new run, can't wait for mid February!
