The majority of Americans - if not yet a majority of their elected officials - believe that the ongoing enforcement of marijuana prohibition financially burdens taxpayers, encroaches upon civil liberties, impedes legitimate scientific research, engenders disrespect for the law and disproportionately impacts communities of color.
Although Americans were divided by political party on Election Day, voters across the political spectrum were largely united in their near overwhelming support for marijuana law reform.
The two most significant victories took place in Oregon and Alaska - where majorities of voters in both states backed measures legalizing the personal use of cannabis by adults and also regulating the plant's retail production and sale. In Oregon, 56 percent of voters approved the measure, the highest percentage ever to endorse a statewide campaign to regulate adult marijuana sales. In Alaska, a so-called "red" state politically, more than 52 percent of voters backed marijuana law reform - a far grater percentage of the electorate than endorsed Republican Gov. Sean Parnell or Republican-turned-independent challenger Bill Walker.
