November 6, 2012

Looks like voters in Washington state love weed. 

Initiative 502, which legalizes recreational use of marijuana in Washington, held a very large lead as of 9 p.m. Pacific time on Tuesday. 

In December, one ounce of marijuana will be legal, and the state will set up a new system of licensed and taxed shops.
