Arizona and New Jersey Voters Legalize Marijuana as Oregon Decriminalizes Hard Drugs
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In Arizona and New Jersey, voters have approved ballot measures
legalizing the possession and use of recreational marijuana for adults
aged 21 and up.

In Oregon, Measure 110 has passed, making Oregon the first state to
decriminalize low-level drug possession, while legalizing the
recreational use of psychedelic mushrooms. Oregon will use the savings
from reduced prison time to fund crime prevention and addiction
treatment programs.
