Cannabis Headquarters - Worldwide Cannabis Law Reform Movement Guide

I was thinking about making a useful thread (more-so than others) with a nice layout containing an organized thread listing each state and links to articles/posts on CHQ regarding legalization, decriminalization, lowest-priority and similar cannabis law reform movements, petitions, legislation, etc. I think it will be really useful and helpful to everybody living in the U.S. (reading CHQ) because it can help layout a map of the current status of marijuana law reform and in each state, and in other countries as well (added the international section a bit after I started the U.S. section)
