It was another busy year for cannabis initiatives at the ballot box. There were four states that had major cannabis election results: Nebraska, Florida, North Dakota, and South Dakota. There was also a sneaky psychedelic measure that voted on in Massachusetts. Overall, it’s easy to say cannabis wasn’t terribly popular with voters in their respective state elections and the overall cannabis election results reflect that.
