Pennsylvania missed an opportunity to legalize adult-use cannabis in 2026, with House Bill 1200 passing in the House only to later die in a Senate committee. Before the legislature convenes in 2027, voters have an opportunity to elect new lawmakers.
This year’s elections will be key to whether Wisconsin finally elects a legislature and a governor who are willing to pass medical cannabis legislation, decriminalization, or a legalization law.
Voters are eager for reform: A recent poll shows 69% of Texans support decriminalization for personal amounts of cannabis and 62% support full legalization.
Last week, the Hawaii Legislature adjourned its legislative session. The Hawaii Senate approved a legalization bill in 2021 that carried over to 2022. Unfortunately, the House never gave it a public hearing or a vote, and several other legalization bills died without a vote.
