Oh that's cute, you think the legislatures and judicial branches will allow mass adoption.

If states can override ballot measures regarding legal cannabis, and they have repeatedly, they can override this. Neither side of the duopoly has any interest in losing power.

Your point being that it's futile to cast a vote for something that won't come to fruition? Thanks for supporting the original point that voting for a third party candidate is a waste of your vote, and just helps Trump.

Low effort shitposts like this that ignore the point of the person you are responding to, that is what makes the internet a bad place.
