With the passage of marijuana laws in South Dakota and Mississippi, Idaho remains North America’s Last Absolute Marijuana Prohibition State.
Marijuana Election Night was the first in history with NO LOSSES for drug reform initiatives. Project SAM’s Kevin Sabet’s worst night ever!
On Marijuana Election Night, Legalization goes 4–0, Medical Marijuana goes 2–0, Psychedelics go 2–0, and Drugs go 1-0.
Mississippi legislators were so afraid voters would pass medical marijuana they’re requiring 2 yes votes and giving opponents 2 chances to veto.
Join me starting November 1 for flashbacks to Marijuana Election Nights from 2006–2017. Re-live the ups and downs of recreational and medical marijuana votes.
Exorbitant increases in tobacco and vape taxes are prohibition by another means and will lead to the unintended consequences prohibition always entails.
Marijuana Election Night 2020 will be my tenth anniversary of producing an election night livestream dedicated to drug policy and criminal justice initiatives.

If cops can just fire their weapons at will into innocent peoples’ homes when residents like Breonna Taylor’s boyfriend use the Second Amendment to defend their homes, and cops can just shoot innocent homeowners in their backyards like Joseph Johnson when they use the Second Amendment to defend their homes, what good is the Second Amendment?
The Senate has already made national news for the efforts of an ironically-named State Sen. C. Scott Grow trying to pass a constitutional amendment to forever ban medical marijuana.
“This legislation will ensure illegal drugs stay illegal.” That’s the thrust of C. Scott Grow’s amendment to enshrine drug prohibition forever into the Idaho Constitution.
I was stunned, but not shocked. I’ve grown up among these people. This result was inevitable. I’m only surprised it’s taken until 2021 for this festering boil of unaddressed racism and willful ignorance to finally erupt in open treason.
Marijuana activists we lost in 2020 include Subcool, Charlotte Figi, Dr. Lester Grinspoon, Jules Stobbs, Cliff Robinson, Kevin Zeese, and Dan Baum.
