WeedVoter

Launching before November 3

A cannabis voter guide for the 2026 election. Your correct districts under the new maps, every cannabis measure on your ballot, and where the candidates actually stood — each claim with a source you can check.

Why this is being built

Several states redrew their congressional maps mid-decade. Most voter lookup tools still read district boundaries from the Census Bureau's default, which describes the current Congress, not the one being elected.

For one address in Cedar Park, Texas:

What the common lookup returns District 10

What is actually on the November ballot District 17

A voter there who researches district 10 studies a race they cannot vote in. Zip code 78613 alone spans four different congressional districts on the new map. WeedVoter resolves the district you actually vote in, and says plainly when your number has changed.

What it will cover

A district finder that works from a plain address or a 5-digit zip, and tells you honestly when a zip is split rather than guessing.
Every cannabis measure on a 2026 ballot, with a plain-English statement of what a yes vote and a no vote each do.
A sourced record for each candidate — votes, sponsorships and quotes, every one carrying the citation it came from. Where there is no record, the page says what was checked and when, rather than showing a question mark.
Campaign finance from Federal Election Commission filings: what was raised, the largest donors, and how much came from the cannabis industry.
A comment thread and a reader rating on every candidate, anonymous, kept visibly separate from the site's own assessment.

Texas first, in full. Ballot measures nationwide from the start.

Cannabis on the 2026 ballot

2026 is a rollback year, not an expansion year. Every statewide measure that would have expanded legal cannabis in 2026 failed to qualify for the ballot. The statewide cannabis questions voters will actually see would narrow existing access or restrict future votes.

MA Would narrow access

Question 8

Eliminate Recreational Marijuana Sales and Allow Limited Possession

A yes vote: Ends licensed retail sales and commercial cultivation of recreational marijuana. The medical program continues, and limited personal possession remains allowed.
A no vote: Keeps the current law, under which licensed retail sales and commercial cultivation continue.

Massachusetts voters legalized retail sales in 2016. This is the first time voters in a state with an operating retail market will be asked to shut it down.

ID Would narrow access

House Joint Resolution 4

Grant the Legislature Exclusive Authority Over Marijuana and Other Controlled Substances

A yes vote: Amends the state constitution so that only the Legislature may legalize marijuana or other listed substances. Citizen initiatives and local governments could no longer do it.
A no vote: Leaves the constitution unchanged, so a future citizen initiative on marijuana remains possible.

This is not a vote about whether cannabis is legal in Idaho. It is a vote about who is allowed to decide, and it would close the route Idaho voters have repeatedly tried to use.

Referred to the ballot by the Idaho Legislature, so it did not need signatures. Sources: norml.org, ballotpedia.org, news.ballotpedia.org

Houston, TX Would widen access

Houston Freedom Act

City Charter Amendment: Lowest Enforcement Priority for Marijuana Possession, and a Ban on No-Knock Warrants

A yes vote: Amends the city charter to make Class A and Class B misdemeanor marijuana possession the Houston Police Department's lowest enforcement priority, and bars the department from carrying out no-knock warrants.
A no vote: Leaves current Houston police practice and the city charter unchanged.

Texas appeals courts struck down the local decriminalization ordinances that five Texas cities passed in 2022, after the Attorney General sued. Houston is asking the question again, in the same state, in the same cycle in which that Attorney General is on the ballot for a different office.

Houston City Council voted on 2026-08-12 to place it on the November ballot, after organizers submitted more than 40,000 signatures. Sources: norml.org, houstonpublicmedia.org, marijuanamoment.net

5 more measures aimed at this ballot and did not make it

FL — Adult-use legalization initiative (would have widened access). Short of signatures. The Division of Elections verified 783,000 of the 880,000 required by the February 1 deadline, and a court denied the campaign's challenge. mpp.org
ID — Idaho Medical Cannabis Act (would have widened access). Did not qualify. The state ruled that insufficient verified signatures were submitted. norml.org
WA — Reduce Cannabis Excise Tax Initiative (would have widened access). Did not qualify for the November ballot; the campaign fell short on valid signatures. ballotpedia.org
ME — Repeal of adult-use legalization (would have narrowed access). Did not meet the 2026 deadline. Organizers could pursue 2027. norml.org
AZ — Repeal of Proposition 207 (would have narrowed access). Called off by the lead proponent before signatures were submitted. norml.org

Every row above was checked against its sources on 2026-09-18. We could not confirm a ballot outcome either way in NE or MO, so they are not listed in either group rather than guessed at.
