As of March 2026, nine states have filed cannabis reform measures for the 2026 ballot, scheduled to be held on November 3.

Arizona

The Arizona Repeal Marijuana Legalization Initiative would repeal the majority of laws and regulations enacted by Proposition 207, which legalized the possession and use of recreational cannabis.

Status: Cleared for signature gathering.

Florida

The Florida Marijuana Legalization Initiative would legalize cannabis for recreational use by adults aged 21 and over, allowing an individual to possess no more than 2 ounces of cannabis. Licensed Medical Marijuana Treatment Centers would be allowed to acquire, cultivate, process, transport, and sell adult-use cannabis. Additionally, new adult-use cannabis licenses would be created and for these licensees, vertical integration would not be required. The use of packaging or marketing that appeals to children and smoking or vaping cannabis in public spaces would be prohibited.

Status: Not on the ballot.

Idaho

Initiative One

The Idaho Medical Marijuana Legalization Initiative would legalize cannabis use for individuals diagnosed with a “substantial health condition” – including chronic pain, cancer, AIDS, multiple sclerosis, epilepsy, and PTSD – and possess a medical cannabis card. Patients would be allowed to receive no more than 113 grams of smokeable cannabis or 20 grams of THC for vaping and other forms of ingestion per month. Permitted medical cannabis forms would include smokeable cannabis, inhalable cannabis, and ingestible cannabis processed to a tablet, chewable, droplet, or pill containing up to 10 milligrams of THC per the ingestible product.

Medical cannabis production licenses would be available to cultivate, product, transport, distribute, and sell cannabis and cannabis products. Initially, only three licenses would be issued. Additional licenses may be issued from 2027 after the population in Idaho increases by 650,000 residents, but no more than a total of six licenses may be issued in the state.

Status: Cleared for signature gathering.

Initiative Two

The Idaho Marijuana Legalization Initiative would decriminalize the use, possession and cultivation of cannabis by individuals aged 21 and over. Individuals would be able to possess no more than one ounce of plant or 1,000 mg of THC in other cannabis-infused products which would include oils, tinctures, gummies and other edibles. Consumption of cannabis in public or open setting would be prohibited.

The measure would also exempt from penalties the possession, production (extraction of materials from the cannabis plant and infusing them into edibles) or cultivation of cannabis and cannabis-infused products as long as it is for personal use only and does not exceed 12 plants or 8 ounces of cannabis-infused products.

The measure would not legalize adult-use cannabis sales or the commercial cultivation, production and distribution of adult-use cannabis.

Status: Cleared for signature gathering.

Initiative Three

The Grant Legislature Exclusive Authority and Prohibit Citizen-Initiated Measures on Marijuana, Narcotics, and Psychoactive Substances Amendment would block citizens from using the initiative process to change state statutes concerning cannabis and other psychoactive substances; only the Idaho State Legislature would have the power to make or change such laws.

Status: On the ballot.

Massachusetts

The Massachusetts Alter Marijuana Regulation Laws Initiative would repeal laws that legalized the sale of recreational cannabis and home cultivation of cannabis for personal use. It would also decriminalize the possession of up to one ounce of cannabis and create civil penalties for possession of between one to two ounces of cannabis.

Status: Certified to the Legislature.

Missouri

The Missouri Marijuana Regulations Amendment would unify cannabis and hemp regulations and introduce several changes to the current law, including: allow individuals to use, possess, and cultivate cannabis and hemp at their private residence as well as sell the product “directly to other adult consumers or to retailers through a regulated pathway that involves testing”; prohibit lawmakers from creating license caps, geographic restrictions and licensing requirements that are stricter than for businesses involved in the sale of alcohol or tobacco; remove purchase and possession limits; and modifications to the cannabis and hemp tax system.

Status: Cleared for signature gathering.

Nebraska

The Nebraska Marijuana Legalization Initiative would allow individuals aged 21 and over to use cannabis for recreational use.

Status: Cleared for signature gathering.

Ohio

The Ohio Regulate Cannabis Products Referendum would uphold or repeal SB 56 which was designed to regulate cannabis in the state, including banning intoxicating hemp sold outside a licensed cannabis dispensary, introducing new packaging and labeling requirements, and capping the amount of dispensaries statewide.

Status: Not on the ballot.

Oklahoma

The Oklahoma State Question 837, Marijuana Legalization Initiative would amend the constitution to allow people aged 21 and over to purchase and possess up to 8 ounces of cannabis as well as cultivate up to 12 cannabis plants at home and have up to one ounce of cannabis concentrates.

The state departments responsible for oversight of the state’s medical cannabis program would also be responsible for the regulation of the adult-use market. Upon passage of the measure, medical cannabis licenses would become “Marijuana Business Licenses” and all existing medical cannabis licensees would be allowed to operate in the adult-use cannabis market without any additional license being required. Medical dispensaries would be able to begin selling adult-use cannabis to consumers starting 60 days after the measure’s enactment and after 180 days, they would be able to start delivering cannabis products to adults.

The measure would also eliminate the 7% excise tax on medical cannabis and impose a 10% excise tax on adult-use cannabis sales as well as a 3% export tax on cannabis sold outside the state of Oklahoma.

Status: Not on the ballot.

Washington

The Washington Reduce Cannabis Excise Tax Initiative would reduce the state cannabis excise tax from 37% to 7%.
