2026 Election results for cannabis legalization (good!)

Yesterday was a good day for cannabis in the US! Especially Massachusetts.

• Massachusetts: Voters rejected a repeal of recreational marijuana legalization, preserving legal possession, sales, and home growing.
• Idaho: Voters rejected a ban on citizen-led marijuana legalization initiatives. (Marijuana remains illegal)
• Houston, Texas: Voters made misdemeanor marijuana possession the lowest police enforcement priority. (Marijuana remains illegal)

Not perfect, but a good day for marijuana legalization.

I was glad to see MA voters reject the repeal. I'm not surprised at Idaho.

Texas will change. They went from a red state to a blue state top to bottom, literally. They even replaced 7 state republican supreme court with democrats. Their next legislative session starts after the first of the year. They may have legal weed and gambling by next May, just sayin'.

Texas going blue and legalizing weed would be so motivating. If Texas can do it, it might finally get the rest of the states and the feds to change.

Don't forget states that voted out anti-cannabis legislators/govenors. Sweeping out the ancient, hard core drig warriors can only add more recreational states!
