In case you are like me and only clicked the article to find out what the other 10 states were. Here's what Wikipedia says:
> The recreational use of cannabis is legalized in 11 states (Alaska, California, Colorado, Illinois, Maine, Massachusetts, Michigan, Nevada, Oregon, Vermont, and Washington), the District of Columbia, the Northern Mariana Islands, and Guam.
- lotsofpulp 6y agoNew Jersey is likely to be next in a few weeks. I wonder if any other states have it on the ballot for this year's elections.
- scottmcf 6y agoArizona, Mississipi, Montana, New Jersey and South Dakota are all voting on recreational or medical ballot measures.
- Simulacra 6y agoOh how nice, I can take Amtrak up, load up, and go home!

- Kednicma 6y agoPrepared cannabis can't be taken across state lines legally yet, in general. However, you certainly can imbibe many milligrams of edible oil and be extremely stoned on Amtrak. (This isn't legal advice.)
- jakear 6y agoFunny that the “small government!” states are the same ones with governments disallowing them from consuming plants deemed socially unacceptable.
- DaiPlusPlus 6y ago> Small government for me; restricted civil liberties for thee.
- throw_away 6y agoSomeone needs to figure out how to make weed grow out of the barrel of a gun.
- grawprog 6y agoI feel like the internet has failed me today. I legitimately searched hoping to find an example of someone growing weed from or in a gun. Sadly, i could not actually find this.
- coderintherye 6y agoI've been amazed by this too. South Dakota and Idaho especially. South Dakota is coming around but Idaho is steadfast in all marijuana is bad, no matter what the THC level, even industrial hemp and cbd oils are fully banned. I'd love to hear from someone who is from the state and in-line with the conservative small government platform explain their position on keeping marijuana illegal.
- vmception 6y agoIt comes down to incumbent representatives ruining so many peoples lives that they have to be right. Reconciling that is impossible and admitting to that they need to free incarcerated people and absolve ex-felons isnt just a pride issue for them, it might be perceived as dangerous to them. Its a flaw in the system for the state apparatus to be hamstrung by its need to be respected.
- lotsofpulp 6y agoI believe marijuana laws are intentionally used as a tool for government/police to harass and commit injustices against certain people. There is no metric for which marijuana does more harm than alcohol, yet alcohol is perfectly fine.
- triyambakam 6y agoGuam surprises me. I've only heard bad things about working conditions there
- Simulacra 6y agoMaybe it’s like North Korea, they let I grow wild so people can use it.
