Nebraska approves medical marijuana measures while three states reject cannabis initiatives

On November 5, voters in four states considered marijuana measures, but only Nebraska approved new legislation. Nebraska passed two initiatives to legalize medical marijuana and create a regulatory commission, with 70.7% and 66.9% support, respectively. In North Dakota, a measure to legalize recreational marijuana failed, with 52.5% voting against it. South Dakota also rejected a similar measure, with 56.3% opposed. Florida's recreational marijuana amendment received 55.9% support but did not meet the 60% threshold needed to pass. In Massachusetts, a proposal to allow personal use of psychedelic substances was defeated, with 56.9% voting against it.
