This tropical U.S. territory could be voting for marijuana legalization in November

A lawmaker is making an eleventh-hour push to get marijuana legalization on the ballot this November in a tropical U.S. territory in the Western Pacific. Legislation would allow residents of the Commonwealth of Northern Mariana Islands (CNMI) to vote on whether cannabis should be legalized for medicinal, personal and commercial uses. “While I continue to support the legalization of marijuana for medicinal purposes, I think that the temperament across the country is that full legalization is working in the states that have legalized it," says Senator Sixto K. Igisomar.
