Colorado and Washington Became the First States to Legalize Marijuana
Two states...Colorado and Washington...became the first states to legalize marijuana for ALL uses. Meaning, even recreational use. A similar measure in Oregon failed.
That lead to an amusing remark from Colorado Governor John Hickenlooper. Quote: "Federal law still says marijuana is an illegal drug, so don't break out the Cheetos or Goldfish too quickly."
Well, now that marijuana has been legalized there, the number of Colorado residents smoking it will remain at 100%.
