Marco Perduca, who coordinates the Legalizziamo.it campaign for the Luca Coscioni Association, commented on the results of some referendums voted on November 3 in the USA:
“Among the topics to be voted in the United States there were also various proposals to reform state drug laws. In Arizona, New Jersey, Montana and South Dakota cannabis has been legalized for all purposes, in Mississippi the therapeutic one, in the capital Washington it is possible to consume psilocybins, while in Oregon a substantial decriminalization of the use and personal possession of quantities has been adopted. of prohibited drugs. The overwhelming percentages of the NO favor to the 'war on drugs' confirm that, regardless of the political orientation of the states where the changes were adopted, the reporting of damages in terms of human rights and the administration of justice has now become the majority in the homeland of prohibition. Italian politicians should also take this into account, taking advantage of what popular reform initiatives, such as the bill for the regulation of the production, consumption and trade of cannabis that have been in the Chamber for four years ”.
