[Vision2020] Washington State Voters Legalize Recreational Pot Use

[Tom Hansen]

But, you throw Colorado (recreational marijuana) and Oregon/California (medicinal marijuana) into the mix, and suddenly "Reefer Madness" isn't all it was toked up to be as farmers markets in states like Hawaii, Florida, and the Carolinas (as they convert the tobacco belt into "Green Acres"), the DEA will be forced to, as I have suggested several times, . . .

LEGALIZE IT!

REGULATE IT!

TAX IT!

Seeya round town, Moscow, because . . .

>> The Washington measure sets up a system of state-licensed marijuana growers, processors and retail stores, where adults over 21 can buy up to an ounce. It also establishes a standard blood test limit for driving under the influence.
