So there were these two criminals who dressed up in ninja outfits and ambushed a medical marijuana delivery driver after he made a drop late Friday night. The police lieutenant, Henley, isn’t bothered by the odd description of the criminals. He isn’t perplexed by the appearance of ninjas in West Covina. He’s surprised to discover there are such things as “medical marijuana delivery drivers”.

Only 23 states currently allow citizens to circulate petitions to get marijuana legalization on the ballot. Of those twenty-three states, only six Western states – Alaska, California, Colorado, Nevada, Oregon, and Washington – have ever managed to succeed at placing legalization before the state’s voters. These six states account for just ten successes out of a potential 494 opportunities to place legalization on a statewide ballot.
