The Lede

In 2024, voters in four states will decide on new marijuana measures, reflecting a shift towards its broader acceptance. Recreational and medical use are both on the table across various states ballots. While Florida aims for a breakthrough with adult-use legalization, Nebraska is focusing on medical cannabis laws. Meanwhile, both Dakotas are revisiting familiar debates after prior setbacks, hoping for better outcomes.

Key Details

  • Florida: A recreational measure needs 60 percent to pass for recreational use. Trump has supported it, and commented on stopping "needless arrests" for personal use.
  • Nebraska: Two initiatives would introduce and regulate medical marijuana, aligning with neighboring states (Iowa, South Dakota, Wyoming, Colorado and Missouri) to a varying degrees.
  • North and South Dakota: Both states try again for recreational legalization, after previous efforts failed to gain lasting approval and faced legal challenges.
