http://blogs.seattle...initiative-502/ King and Pierce County prosecutors are dismissing more than 220 misdemeanor marijuana cases in response to Tuesday’s vote to decriminalize small amounts of pot. In King County, 175 cases are being dismissed involving people 21 and older and possession of one ounce or less. I-502 makes one ounce of marijuana legal on Dec. 6, but King County Prosecutor Dan Satterberg decided to apply I-502 retroactively. “Although the effective date of I-502 is not until December 6, there is no point in continuing to seek criminal penalties for conduct that will be legal next month,” Satterberg said in a statement. The dismissed cases involved …

If oregon had also voted to legalise marijuana then the mexican drug cartels might have lost 20% of their profits or over a billion dollars US.

As I’m sure you’ve heard, Colorado and Washington voters approved a pair of ballot measures to allow adults 21 and older to possess up to an ounce of marijuana and to buy it from state-licensed vendors. And in Colorado, adults can also grow up to six marijuana plants once the election is certified. The Colorado and Washington initiatives passed with 54.6% and 55.4% of the vote, respectively. As a result, these two states now have the best marijuana laws in the world. (Better than even Holland, where marijuana cultivation is illegal.)
