Vermont will most likely be the first Eastern state to do so. I'm pretty sure California could do it next time around, but I think 2016 would be the year where more people show up at the polls rather than a mid-term like 2014. I was shocked that Oregon didn't do it this year as I thought they were more likely to legalize it than Washington or Colorado. New Mexico perhaps, but I don't really sense any stong advocacy or opinions about it either way around here as one does up in Colorado. However if it were put on the ballot in New Mexico it would probably be legalized.
The usual suspects: California, Hawaii, Oregon and Vermont but also maybe a few wildcards like Rhode Island, Massachusetts, Nevada, Alaska.
I'm hoping for the Federal Government to get the hell out of the matter first, which will actually give states real authority to say it truly is legal.
Oregon. Its a very liberal state and it votes democratically in almost every part of the state. plus there are a ton of stoners in oregon.
Hawaii is also like oregon and will likely legalize majiujana.
D.C could legalize marijuana
Other states i would see likely to legalize marijuana this decade would be california (government, corruption and people are always the problem with this), Rhode Island (again their state govt is terrible) and Massachusetts
It will depend on whether Eric Holder clamps down on Washington or Colorado first. The Feds are already clamping down on the medical marijuana dispensaries, so if they have the same response to WA and CO laws, then this question will be moot.
If he doesn't do anything and leaves it to the states, then this question becomes more relevant.
If the USSC says its a matter of "full faith and credit", then it will be de-facto legal everywhere.
I would say Michigan could be one of the next ones in order to help out their economy.
