Idaho’s Hope For Weed Legalization Takes A Major Hit

Welp, if you were holding onto hope for weed being legalized in Idaho, we have some bad news for you -- the road to legalization hit another major roadblock.

Is Idaho About To Win The War Against Marijuana?

It's been a tough year for marijuana in Idaho. Recently, lawmakers passed a bill that raised the minimum fine for marijuana possession up to $300. While supporters of marijuana felt this was a petty step back, Idaho took things one step further not long after.

Earlier this month, Idaho lawmakers proposed an amendment to the Idaho Constitution that would leave the fate of marijuana legalization in the hands of the Idaho Legislature, not Idaho voters.

Now, a major research breakthrough could be the final piece of ammo Idaho lawmakers need to keep pot out of the Gem State.
