By 2017, Arizonans will be free to possess, use and even grow marijuana, regardless of any medical condition, if the group that helped pass the state’s medical marijuana law in 2010 is successful.
The Marijuana Policy Project Monday announced a plan to push full-legalization initiatives in ten more states over the next two election cycles, including Arizona in 2016. The Washington D.C.-based action group has been involved in voter initiatives that created medical marijuana programs in several states and full legalization in Washington and Colorado.
Recent polling consistently shows greater support for loosening marijuana laws across the United States. The Marijuana Policy Project cites a Public Policy Polling survey from January showing a majority of Arizona voters support a system that regulates and taxes marijuana like alcohol.
