The legalization of marijuana remains a controversial issue as we head into another election year. Many publications, from Rolling Stone Magazine to 24-7 Wall Street, have made predictions about which states will likely legalize cannabis next. Will it be your state?

Toledo, Ohio is decriminalizing pot use. A measure passed last September was recently upheld by Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine and local prosecutors to maintain a city ordinance that takes the sting out of marijuana use. Hopefully this act will be copied across America.

Alaska has become the first state to be progressive enough to allow marijuana use at pot shops. The board responsible for writing rules on recreational marijuana in Alaska has voted to allow people to use pot at certain stores that will sell it.

Advocates and veterans used Veterans Day as an opportunity to bring awareness to the physical and psychological suffering of vets and how medical marijuana could help them.
“Pot Over Pills” protestors camped out in front of the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs on Tuesday to draw attention to the fact that nearly 2 dozen veterans die from suicide each day.

US Senator Elizabeth Warren seems to be changing her tune about marijuana legalization – an issue that is expected to be front and center in the upcoming elections. She recently told the Boston Globe that she is “open” to the legalization of both medical and recreational marijuana. She was opposed to it just three years ago.

Just over a year after Colorado started selling marijuana in licensed dispensaries, they are seeing more customers than ever, but according to Nicholas Colas and his team at Convergex, a global brokerage company based in New York, Colorado citizens aren’t paying as much for their marijuana nowadays.
After interviewing several stores in Colorado, Colas found that prices are declining faster than some anticipated. Is there too much supply and not enough demand, or are there other factors at play here?

Is marijuana legalization throughout the US about to actually happen? It seems with the action on Capitol Hill lately, that the war on the vilified plant is about to finally cease.
