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.) Only 2.2% of the subscribers on this e-mail list donated to MPP or the Colorado campaign this year, and unfortunately, you weren’t one of …

This is an unforeseen element.” Videgaray stopped short of threatening to curtail Mexican enforcement of marijuana laws, but his comments, less than three weeks before P…

(Reuters) - Votes making Colorado and Washington the first U.S. states to legalize marijuana for recreational use could be short-lived victories for pot backers because the federal government will fight them, two former U.S. drug control officials said on Wednesday. They said the federal government could sue to block parts of the measures or send threatening letters to marijuana shops, followed ... View the full article

http://safeaccessnow.org/img/original/banner-2011-email.jpgDear Friend, Last night was a good night for medical cannabis patients and advocates. The voters in Massachusetts overwhelmingly approved a compassionate use law, bringing the total number of medical cannabis states to eighteen plus the District of Columbia! The results for Congress were especially positive for our movement. 90% of our Congressional champions were reelected. We are excited to welcome medical cannabis supporters Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) and Tammy Baldwin (D-WI) to the Senate. Fresh faces in the House and Senate mean that new champions of the cause can emerge, and Americans for Safe Access (ASA) …

Marijuana Prohibition Going Up in Smoke? High Hopes for a Drug War Peace Dividend 11/07/2012 @ 9:59AM |2,904 views Marijuana Prohibition Going Up in Smoke? High Hopes for a Drug War Peace Dividend http://blogs-images.forbes.com/cache/gravatars/acarden_136.jpg 7 comments, 1 called-out What was the most important outcome of yesterday’s election? Surprisingly, it probably wasn’t Barack Obama’s reelection. The most important things happened in Colorado and Washington. Voters in both states dramatically scaled back marijuana prohibition. While they did not embrace wholesale legalization for production and sale of any amount of marijuana, voters in these states none…

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. Even with only washington and colorado voting for legalisation the market is diminished plenty enough to hurt those mexican crime lords. http://www.opposingviews.com/i/politics/how-much-would-legalizing-marijuana-one-or-more-us-states-hurt-mexican-gangsters Especially if and when pot gets supplied cheaply by those two states to the rest of america.

Oregon’s Measure 80 Voted Down Unfortunately, Oregon’s Cannabis Tax Act (Measure 80), did not pass. With well over half the precincts reporting in Oregon, the measure trails 55% to 45% - a margin wide enough to declare the initiative’s defeat. http://hightimes.com/news/mike_hughes/8007
