Washington legalizes marijuana
Washington legalizes recreational marijuana, allowing Washingtonians 21 years old or older to possess up to one ounce. Selling marijuana or smoking marijuana in public remains illegal. SPD police spokesman Jonah Spangenthal-Lee:
The police department believes that, under state law, you may responsibly get baked, order some pizzas and enjoy a `Lord of the Rings’ marathon in the privacy of your own home, if you want to.
