Do you think that the other half the country with legal cannabis just had a referendum pass and went “welp that’s it”?
The legislature still needed to pass laws regulating the dispensary market. The legalization itself just had more public support to put it on a public ballot.
A public referendum is always more democratic and representative of the people than a legislature passing a law l.
Because surely a state legislature that gets their asses handed to them by a referendum is going to craft legislation in good faith, that will be fair and positive and ethical, and not put any roadblocks up.
Fuck, Ohio just constitutionalized abortion rights, and the American Fascist legislature is still saying they’re just going to ignore that.
I mean, every other state that has legalized it has done it through referendum by the people. Surely you could look at all the history and examples of this in the US.
