Drug Legalization Efforts See Big Wins In Election

In recent elections, several U.S. states have made significant changes to drug laws. Oregon has decriminalized small amounts of hard drugs like heroin and LSD, focusing on public health over criminal prosecution. The state also legalized psilocybin for therapeutic use. Meanwhile, voters in New Jersey, Arizona, Montana, and South Dakota approved recreational marijuana, with Arizona allowing expungement of certain marijuana convictions. Mississippi and South Dakota are advancing medical marijuana use. These changes reflect a growing trend towards drug legalization and decriminalization across the U.S.
