Military And Veteran Community Supports Marijuana And Psychedelics Legalization; AR, WA And SD Work On Relaxing Cannabis Regulations
Arkansas' attorney general struck down a ballot initiative that would expand the medical marijuana program in the state and potentially legalize possession of up to an ounce of recreational cannabis if the federal government removes it from the Schedule of Controlled Substances or if it's no longer considered a federal crime, In the meantime, a majority of veterans and active military members (60%) as well as their family members (85%), favor marijuana legalization, according to a new Ohio State University study.In Washington state, HB 2194 from Rep. Shelley Kloba seeks to grant adults the freedom to cultivate up to four marijuana plants per person and no more than 10 per household, as amended. The measure advanced through the House Regulated Substances and Gaming Committee on Monday in a 7–4 vote. A new measure in South Dakota from Republican Sen. Joshua Klumb is seeking to bring a THC testing regulation in line with federal standards.
