November 6 will mark ten years exactly from that election night in Seattle. To truly appreciate how far cannabis has come, it helps to take a moment to reflect on a bit of history, and to take stock of some of the outcomes. So, we asked the leaders of the Colorado and Washington campaigns about lessons learned and hopes for the future; we compiled data on common areas of concern, like youth use; and we excerpted the introduction of our book, A New Leaf: The End of Cannabis Prohibition, which was published in 2014 by The New Press, so that you can relive November 6, 2012, in Denver and Seattle, too.
