Next states to consider pro-marijuana (POLITICS)

Following on yesterday's bit on investments and how the stocks follow trends in the news (i.e recreational or legalization measures or initiatives are made public), I decided it'd be best to get a list going and update it regularly.  I'll put the names of the acts, a link to their websites and whatnot when I update this post after work.

Another post will be made with regards to Hemp, as although it comes from the same plant (well, the male gender of the plant), it is completely different for a legalistic and legislative purpose.

States who are putting recreational legalization on their ballots in 2014 OR states without direct democracy who have petitioned their lawmakers to propose a bill:
(in no particular order)

~Oregon
~California
~Alaska
~New Hampshire
~Maryland

States who have passed previous legislation regarding medicinal use, and are opening dispensaries in 2014:

~New Jersey
~Connecticut

States which are considering putting medical usage on their ballots in 2014:

~Texas
~Pennsylvania
~ Alabama
~Florida

New York has recently passed, via executive order from the governor, a pilot program across 20 hospitals in the state to allow access to medical marijuana for gravely ill patients who qualify.



I'll update this list on a regular basis as to show when the due dates for ballot initiatives or petitions are, so as to better understand when the stocks will fluctuate or move.
