The 2016 election is coming closer and closer, and many more states are trying to get marijuana legalization on the upcoming ballots. This is bringing all people from the average pothead to the cannabis-researching scientist out to try to figure out which will be the next state to legalize marijuana.
Certain publications such as Rolling Stone have released a well thought-out list of states which they believe will have weed legalized in 2016. However, other publications are also releasing lists such as these, but the only difference is that they seem to be choosing the states randomly. For instance, 24/7 Wall St., a highly respected publication, added Minnesota to their list of “The Next 11 States to Legalize Marijuana” over the summer. Yet, a team of market analysts from the Anderson Economic Group published a very precise tip sheet on which states are most likely going to have legalized marijuana by 2017 and which are likely going to keep it prohibited.
The tip sheet is 270 pages and is called “The Market for Legal Cannabis Products in the 50 United States” and predicts that Michigan and Nevada will be the next states to legalize marijuana and get an entire cannabis industry running while Indiana, Ohio and Texas will be of the last states to make any type of similar reforms.
“With dramatic changes in both public opinion and the legal landscape regarding marijuana, it is clear that future consumption of marijuana in the U.S. will be under a much different legal regime than in the past,” the report states. “While we do not yet know what this would imply for both state and federal laws, we believe a serious effort to review the available data with numerous indicators could provide us with much better information than what was available in the past.”
