If you read Marijuana Moment, then you obviously already know about recent legalization wins in New York, New Mexico and Virginia.
But there is a lot more legislative action that’s flying under the radar—in your state and those that neighbor you. That’s why our Bill Tracker ( available for readers supporting our journalism with $25 or more each month) is such a valuable tool.
Let me show you why.
The Bill Tracker is great for quick reference.
Pull up our legislative “heat map” to get the big picture of what’s happening around the country with the 1,125 marijuana, hemp and psychedelics bills we’re watching so far for 2021 sessions.
Hover over individual states to see a summary of the legislation on the ground and click-through to access more information.
You can peruse legislation with a bit more detail via our list view. Not only can you quickly access the bill name and number, but you can see which stage it’s at in the legislative process and what’s coming up next.
But the Bill Tracker is even more powerful than that. Let’s drill down on Louisiana to get an idea of just how much information is at your fingertips if you support us at the $25 level on Patreon.
The Bill Tracker shows, in detail, what’s in play.
Did you know 16 cannabis-related bills are currently pending in Louisiana? From proposals on full legalization to hemp regulatory tweaks to expanding the current medical cannabis law, the Bill Tracker gives you a quick description of each bill and its number, as well as a link to easily access more granular details.
Not only can you access the full text of cannabis bills, but you can see how legislation has changed over time by comparing different versions.
The Bill Tracker keeps a running log of every action taken on a piece of legislation, and will give you a heads up on upcoming hearings as well. This could be critical information whether you’re a cannabis business, a policy organization or an individual voter seeking to get involved in shaping laws that affect you.
The Bill Tracker helps you know your friends (and your enemies).
Importantly, the Bill Tracker is a tool for democracy and accountability. It helps you see how individual lawmakers voted and the party breakdown on any given bill.
The Bill Tracker ensures you don’t miss upcoming votes.
We even have a calendar tool that lets you see a full list of committee hearings and votes that have been scheduled on cannabis, psychedelics and drug policy bills we are tracking—across all states.
I’m really proud of the reporting we’ve been able to provide our readers—made available thanks to the support of people like you. So if you like what we do, please join us on Patreon today so we can keep doing more of it.
