The US of Weed


There's a good compilation here of all 50 states and their current laws concerning medical use, recreational use, or penalties for using weed.  

Two things stuck out to me.  One, about Texas:

A medical bill will be introduced in the next legislative session

What? Medical marijuana in Texas? Hey, you know, maybe there IS a god!

And the second was about the state of Michigan:

There is no state legalization bill currently in play, but 15 Michigan cities, including Detroit and Lansing (the state capital) have legalized the possession of small quantities of pot for private use.

Did you know that?

All sorts of good information. 

With marijuana now legal in four states and the District of Columbia, the movement to end the prohibition of pot continues to gain steam. Another five states are expected to introduce ballot measures to legalize recreational pot in 2016, including California, Massachusetts, and Nevada. And by the end of the following year, pot activists expect five more states will vote on legalization bills in their state legislatures. But that's not all: six other states are looking at creating or expanding medical-marijuana programs, or are vastly scaling back penalties for small-time possession. With a slew of polls now showing that most Americans think pot should be taxed and regulated like alcohol, it's probably only a matter of time before legalization sweeps the nation.
