Californians voted to approve marijuana for recreational use on Tuesday, in what the legalization movement is hailing as its most significant accomplishment since the first states legalized it four years ago.
With the success of Proposition 64, nearly 40 million more people will soon be living in a state that has decided to tax and regulate marijuana like alcohol rather than treat it like a criminal enterprise. California now joins Colorado and Washington state ― which voted to legalize weed in 2012 ― as well as later arrivals Alaska, Oregon and Washington, D.C.
Drug policy reformers say the approval of Proposition 64 will expand the legal marijuana industry and boost its political clout while they push for nationwide change.

Unfortunately, prop 205 in AZ didn't pass
I only say that, because I don't view drug users as criminals, what sense does it make for someone who had a joint in their car to share a cell with an armed robber or murderer?

I live in a state that is probably 50 years from legal weed. However, hopefully this paves the way for more states as well as decriminalization in states like Oklahoma, so you can make a quick trip to a neighboring state for it. Even Arkansas voted to legalize medical marijuana.
Trump is all for medical use, but recreational he may go after.Should be interesting.
I'll bet if that ---- grew hair he'd be all for it.
(Though I guess that would be medicinal?)
