The State of Marijuana in Modern America

Marijuana legalization isn’t something new to American debate. California legalized medicinal marijuan in 1996, it took 7,308 days before it was recreationally legal. Today the timeframe in between these two phases has dramatically dropped. Massachusetts legalized medicinal marijuana in 2012, it was only 1,463 days before it was legal recreationally. 


This is just one way to show that marijuana is not as stigmatized and demonized as it used to be. To see this effect most prominently, it’s important to look at the rates of approval. Today 90% of Americans support some form of marijuana use. This statistic, in practice, leads to 37 states legalizing medicinal marijuana, 21 of which have also legalized recreational use.
