Voters Approve Marijuana Legalization in Two States and D.C.

[mrjarrell]

Slowly, but surely, the wheels are turning in favour of ending the stupidity that is the drug war. Two more states and DC have opted for legalisation for recreational use and Florida would have been added as a medical marijuana state, but their initiative required a super majority (and all it got was 57%). Going to be interesting to see how congress handles DC. Maybe they'll address it before the gop newbies take their seats. Anyway, congrats to Alaska and Oregon. Hopefully the rest of the country will follow suit.

Wait...you mean the legislative process was used rather than appealing to activist judges? Go figure.

Odd way of coping with a loss the day after.

That's just not the way things are done anymore.

Since they elevated Norco to class IV narcotic last month, legalizing marijuana slips into its place now for pain relief...either that or go buy a fifth of some Old No. 7

You mean you cant legally carry a handgun in DC, but you can light up a joint? What is this world coming to?
