The best part of the article at Reason is at the beginning:
Sen. Cory Gardner (R-Colo.) described Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell's dismay upon hearing that voters in Utah seem set to approve medical marijuana when they go to the polls on November 6. "I said that even Utah is most likely going to legalize medical marijuana this year," Gardner recalled. "McConnell looks and me, and he goes, 'Utah?' [He had] this terrified look. And as he says that, Orrin Hatch walks up, and Mitch looks at Orrin and says, 'Orrin, is Utah really going to legalize marijuana?' And Orrin Hatch folds his hands, looks down at his feet, and says, 'First tea, then coffee, and now this.'"Ha ha ha. What a comedian.
Utah: 2/3 population thinks medical marijuana is okay
Missouri: prospects not good, plus there are are three confusing ballot initiatives.
North Dakota: unlikely to pass for recreational use having just recently passed medical use.
Michigan: pretty good shot for recreational use to pass.
The article goes into the proposals for each state including Colorado that has an initiative to link the definition of hemp with the Federal definition. It's argued that would give Colorado more flexibility, while counterargument says it's also a path to criminalize marijuana altogether.
I'd explain all the deets but I'm too high.
Joke!

Aside from skyrocketing rates in auto accidents, kid and pet ODs, chromosome damage, heightened cancer, now we're told it also increases stroke risk.
Maybe when all the potheads kill themselves, we can get the laws back to where they ought to be.
This is not a good idea.
Agree. Not a good idea. Negative health side effects, mental and physical, have been seriously underreported. The potheads are not going to kill themselves; they're just going to irritate the rest of us. I've already had several cases involving bad accidents attributed to people being high. Further demotivates people who are not already motivated to be useful members of society. All purpose excuse to look inward.
