Marijuana laws to change in 8 US states?

Just noticed that there are seven states altogether pursuing  referendums about the legalization of marijuana during the upcoming November election. They are all proposing somewhat different details towards the same, general idea. The other states, besides Colorado, are: - Michigan, Missouri, Montana, California, Nebraska, Oregon and Washington.   Will Direct Democracy create changes in some significant legal areas, or will the people vote it down. Tune in in November!

Pot legalization on a ballot!

Colorado is among the many US states to permit referendums upon issues. This November there will be an opportunity there to vote to legalize marijuana for recreational use. A total of some 90,000 signatures recently obtained upon the initiative was sufficient to place the issue upon the ballot occurring the same time as the   presidential election. No other state has so legalized pot. The measure would not just legalize up to one ounce of marijuana for those over 21. It would also allow the growing at  home for up to six plants. Specially regulated stores could sell it, though communities could option out of such business permission. One cannot yet predict the success of this proposal. But is it not the right way to decide upon a controversial issue - getting the citizens to vote upon it? Direct democracy in action! When will Ontario reach the 21st century, to establish rules to permit referendums here?
