While support for making marijuana legal is growing rapidly and California’s Proposition 19 came close to winning last year, we still haven’t reached the tipping point. What can we expect to see on the ballot in 2012 and beyond? Leading advocates and political consultants will discuss what it will take to win at the state and national level, and share insights from the most extensive marijuana reform public opinion research ever conducted.
