公众对大麻合法化的支持率从1995年的25%上升到2016年的60%,与支持同性婚姻的支持率同步上升。2012年11月至2016年11月,8个州的选民通过了投票倡议,将非医疗用途的大麻销售合法化-覆盖了美国五分之一的人口。这些变化是史无前例的,但并不独立于过去20年来医用大麻法律的变化。这篇文章提出了医用大麻法律的通过和实施为美国向非医疗大麻合法化过渡铺平道路的五种方式:(A)它们展示了利用选民倡议改变大麻供应法律的有效性,(B)使“禁毒战争”政策停滞不前所需的心理变化成为可能,(C)产生了可用于淡化对非医疗大麻合法化的担忧的证据基础,(D)创建了一个明显和活跃的大麻行业,以及(E)表明联邦政府将允许州和地方司法机关从大麻中获得税收。
Public support for legalizing marijuana use increased from 25% in 1995 to 60% in 2016, rising in lockstep with support for same-sex marriage. Between November 2012 and November 2016, voters in eight states passed ballot initiatives to legalize marijuana sales for nonmedical purposes—covering one-fifth of the US population. These changes are unprecedented but are not independent of the changes in medical marijuana laws that have occurred over the past 20 years. This article suggests five ways in which the passage and implementation of medical marijuana laws smoothed the transition to nonmedical legalization in the United States: (a) They demonstrated the efficacy of using voter initiatives to change marijuana supply laws, (b) enabled the psychological changes needed to destabilize the “war on drugs” policy stasis, (c) generated an evidence base that could be used to downplay concerns about nonmedical legalization, (d) created a visible and active marijuana industry, and (e) revealed that the federal government would allow state and local jurisdictions to generate tax revenue from marijuana.
