Marijuana legalization advocates came into 2019 expecting it to be a huge year for cannabis, and lawmakers around the country are not disappointing them so far.

This month alone, bills to legalize and regulate marijuana for adults have advanced through key committees in at least four states.

Three separate New Mexico House and Senate committees have approved two different legal marijuana bills in recent weeks.

In New Hampshire, the House Criminal Justice and Public Safety Committee acted last week to advance a marijuana legalization bill.

In Hawaii, the Senate Judiciary Committee unanimously voted to approve a cannabis legalization bill on February 7.

And in Vermont, where lawmakers legalized low-level possession and home cultivation of cannabis last year, the Senate Judiciary, Finance and Appropriations Committees all voted this month to approve a bill to add in a system of legal marijuana sales.

1. And, of course, no surprise,

Maryland, as always, is NOT one of them! Fucking Maryland. FUCKING MARYLAND!!!! Damn I hate this state, fucking hate it!!!!!🥺😫😡😡😡!!!! The eastern shore is the reddest part of the state, too. Only three dispensaries in Maryland region of the DELMARVA peninsula, and they’re spread out. Not that it matters, as I’m having difficulty getting my “permission slip.” Sorry folks, just venting.
