You’re right that direct democracy measures are a correlation. My point was not that there’s a red/blue divide in current law, but that my educated experience working in the industry informs me that there’s low political will in many red states to legalize & high political pressure to resist it. I’m very familiar with the legal map, don’t need a wiki link thanks.

And this clearly applies to blue states as well. If it didn’t it would have been legalized without referendum in CA, or in NM, etc.

Well you do if you think there is something special about red states in this regard.
