Reefer Report Card Vol. 31 examines a week where cannabis reform quietly retreated. Ballot rollbacks gained traction, federal action stalled, and patients remained unprotected.

If successful, these efforts could establish a precedent that makes voter-approved cannabis legalization reversible nationwide.
