The American Public Is Doing a 180 on Marijuana Prohibition...How Come the Politicians Aren't? Public opinion on marijuana is moving fast, and pols will eventually follow. November 9, 2012 | The election results this week from Washington, Colorado, Massachusetts and Arkansas demonstrate that public opinion about cannabis has moved much faster than the positions of elected officials. That Massachusetts voters would pass a fairly loosely regulated medical marijuana system isn’t very surprising. But that voters in Arkansas came within a whisker of passing one shows that it isn’t just a hippie-dippie issue anymore. And for Colorado and Washington to take t…

09:02 AM ET How will White House respond to Washington, Colorado votes? By Shannon K. O'Neil, CFR Editor's Note:Shannon K. O'Neil is senior fellow for Latin America studies at the Council on Foreign Relations. This entry of Latin America's moment first appeared here. The views expressed are her own. As Americans went to the polls to elect their president last week, voters in Colorado and Washington chose to legalize marijuana (by referendum). Not only does this create conflicting state and federal laws, but it also directly challenges the United States’ war on drugs. These initiatives, Colorado’s Amendment 64 and Washington’s Initiative 502, directly c…

Some argue if this bill is a step forward or back but I think most mj advocates feel that despite the negatives this is a move in the right direction. The 220 odd misdemeanour's that were dropped in Pierce and King county were a positive from the bill, that's a given but I think there is a issue with the media being unusually quiet on the negative aspects, especially the D.U.I.D provision. One definite is that the public is not being informed that the marijuana legalization could be a state power grab in sheep's clothing. I hope that the talks to make the new laws more user friendly are something that will actually happen and not just idealism. The tax rate is just rid…

(AP) — Rebuffed by voters, proponents of legalizing recreational marijuana use in Oregon will take their cause to the Legislature, but persuading lawmakers will be a longshot. Rep.

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 …
