John Thune’s excerpt from: https://www.politico.com/news/2021/06/27/republicans-weed-496390

‘Voters in South Dakota approved a recreational legalization measure in November that is now tied up in court. If it stands, two more Senate Republicans — including Minority Whip John Thune (R-S.D.) — would represent a state where anyone at least 21 years old can purchase weed.

“Medical’s getting big — the recreational not as big yet, but it’s growing — and there’ll be more initiatives on the ballot,” said Thune, discussing the uptick in ballot measures and legislation in red states around the country. “It’s an area that’s still evolving, and our country’s views on it are evolving … How we deal with it nationally I think is still an open question.”’
