In connection with the US presidential elections, several states took the opportunity to hold referendums on possible changes to the law at the state level.

As the nation’s first state, possession of all (!) Drugs is now decriminalized, including cocaine, heroin, and methamphetamine.
– Today is a great day to celebrate, but the work is far from done and we have a lot to do to achieve a better system for all, says the bill’s campaign leader Peter Zuckerman, according to Oregon Live.
Several high-profile Americans joined the bill, the main argument of which was financially. Including Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg, who donated just over 4.5 million SEK, and singer John Legend.

In Colorado, a proposal to ban abortion after the 22nd week, unless the woman’s life is at stake, was on the table. However, Coloradans appear to have rejected the proposal.
