How’s it growing folks?! It’s me, you’re Here Weed Go! host Eddie Celaya, and since I’m a glutton for punishment, election season and cannabis, I figured I’d throw together one more special episode, this one focusing exclusively on what just played out on Election Day 2022.
Five state's voters considered legalizing recreational adult-use cannabis on their ballots on Tuesday, Nov. 9, with two -- Maryland and Missouri -- passing. They now become the 20th and 21st members of the "Green Club," aka cannabis-legal states.
To talk more about these developments and how various voting blocks and constituencies came out for cannabis this election, I’m joined by Sam D’Arcangelo, Director for HeadCount’s Cannabis Voter Project, an initiative that aims to get people to the polls by informing them of the ways their votes can influence cannabis policy.
We touch on the larger picture of what these victories, and losses, this election cycle could mean for advocates going forward, what cannabis consumers in the newly legal states can expect, and where the next state to consider cannabis legalization will be.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
