The main statutory reform measure will establish a legal system of marijuana production and sales for adults in the state, while the separate constitutional amendment would stipulate that only those 21 and older can participate in the market.

“This result illustrates that support for adult-use marijuana legalization extends across geographic and demographic lines,” NORML Executive Director Erik Altieri said. “Marijuana legalization is not exclusively a ‘blue’ state issue, but an issue that is supported by a majority of all Americans—regardless of party politics.”

Polling ahead of the election indicated the reform was on its way to passage, with 54 percent of likely voters saying in a survey released last month that they planned to support legal cannabis on the ballot.

On the one hand, there's no question the government would rather have free reign over a bunch of drug-addled lobotomites who only care about Saturday morning cartoons and are just capable of doing menial jobs. On the other hand, big pharma would have every incentive to lobby against alternatives to Wellbutrin and Prozac. It's difficult to guess how much either motive influences what's going on behind the scenes.

So did Arizona, finally. As for being stoned for what comes next: Might not be a bad idea.

I do believe that still, every instance of legalization that has occurred has been due to a ballot proposition, so that leads me to believe that the governmental apparatus doesn't care much for doing so.
