A new proposal has been put forward by state Rep. Jesse Chism in Tennessee to add three non-binding referendum questions on marijuana legalization to the November 2024 ballot. These questions will gauge public support for medical marijuana legalisation, decriminalisation of small amounts of marijuana, and legalising commercial sales of recreational marijuana. Chism had previously submitted the same bill in 2022, but it failed in a House subcommittee. Meanwhile, a bill to legalize recreational marijuana use has been proposed in the West Virginia state Senate. This proposal would allocate half of the revenue generated from marijuana sales to support the state's troubled health insurance program, PEIA.
