Yesterday, HB 372 – a bill that would legalize, regulate, and tax cannabis sales in the state – fell short of the needed 25 votes. Notably, the bill sponsor, Rep. Ed Osienski (D), changed his vote from yes to no, which will allow him to have the bill reconsidered before the legislative session ends on June 30. The final vote count was 23-15 with two absences (one of whom is a cosponsor of the bill).

We need all hands on deck to pass legalization this year! HB 150 — Delaware’s bill to legalize and regulate cannabis for adults — has passed the House Health and Human Development Committee. Next, the bill will be considered by the House Appropriations Committee before heading to the House floor for a vote. 

If you live in Delaware, contact your state rep and tell them to vote YES on HB 110! There are less than two weeks left in Delaware's legislative session to advance the legalization bill. The bill needs a three-fifths supermajority (25 votes) in the House to advance to the Senate, and several representatives have not yet taken a position on legalization. (The bill will pick up where it left off in 2020.) Here's how you can take action and help advance HB 110: 1. Join us in solidarity at lobby…

Last week, HB 110 — a bill to legalize, tax, and regulate cannabis for adults 21 and older — advanced to the full House of Representatives for a vote.

Here’s how you can get involved: 1. Volunteer to help generate phone calls to legislators in key districts! We have a system that allows you to volunteer from…

A committee has approved the third piece of the cannabis puzzle; please contact your legislators and help us cross the finish line this year. Yesterday evening, the Finance Committee approved Senate Bill 1138, bringing Connecticut one step closer to legalizing cannabis! Now that all three of the companion bills to legalize, regulate, and tax cannabis have passed their respective committees (you can read summaries here), it’s time for us to turn our attention to the full House and Senate. There…

Join us at 6 p.m. to learn more about what is happening in the legislature and how you can help! The Connecticut Legislature has taken important steps to advance marijuana legalization this session, but we know that victory remains far from certain. The bills are still works in progress, and many legislators remain undecided on the issue, so it’s clear that our coalition will need to ramp up efforts in the coming weeks. Fortunately, legislative leaders have made it clear that the issue is a priority…

Volunteers are needed this evening in Manchester and Portsmouth, and tomorrow evening in Concord! The New Hampshire House has already passed the legalization bill once this year in a 209-147 vote. Unfortunately, while the first vote on HB 481 was lopsided, it did not reach the two-thirds majority that would be needed to override a veto. We urgently need to continue gaining momentum, so it is very important that representatives hear from supporters before the next vote, which will take place this…

Phone banking and letter writing campaigns in support of HB 481 will commence tomorrow evening at the Americans for Prosperity offices in Manchester and Portsmouth. The New Hampshire House has already voted 209-147 to pass HB 481, the bill that would legalize, regulate, and tax cannabis for adults' use, but we need to continue building support and gaining votes in order to override an expected veto by Gov. Chris Sununu. The bill is currently being considered by the House Ways and Means Committee,…
