TO
LEGALIZING CANNABIS

Despite the progress medical and recreational marijuana has made recently in the US , there are still large portions of the country adamantly opposed to cannabis . Chris Bond explores which US states are unlikely to pass any kind of cannabis legalization bill anytime soon .
The issue of legal cannabis use for medicinal or recreational purposes is gaining ground in a number of states . Currently , 29 states and Washington D . C . allow for the use of cannabis to one degree or another . The legalization of industrial hemp ( defined as Cannabis S . with a THC level less than 0.3 per cent ) production has also received a boost in popularity in recent years , with 33 states allowing for its cultivation either for research or commercial purposes . This wellspring of support , however , does not resonate throughout all 50 states . There are still a number of states that , even if the federal government decriminalized or legalized cannabis , would still support its prohibition . This isn ’ t much of a surprise , seeing as several states still boast as much as one-third of their territories being “ dry ,” as in the sale or public consumption of alcohol has remained illegal since the passage of the 18th Amendment , the 1919 Volstead Act ( even though the federal government has allowed its use , sale , and consumption since the 21st Amendment passed in 1933 under President Franklin Roosevelt ). In this light , it is again no surprise that these bastions of conservative practices will continue to dig their heels in , hold their breath , and stomp their collective feet when it comes time to take a stance on the legalization of marijuana . Here are five states that are among the least likely to be legalizing cannabis in any form anytime soon .
