“Marijuana will be out-right legalized” is perhaps a slight over-estimation of the three ballot issues up for the public vote in Colorado, Oregon, and Washington State, which allow the possession of small amounts for personal use. Though Washington’s I-502 doesn’t get much attention from the intrepid Taiwan news service, it seems a bigger conclusion can be drawn from the animation.
Everyone be responsible stoners and don’t fall asleep behind the wheel, and hopefully we’ll end up with Oregon’s dream of uppity weed tourists, sampling herbal admixtures just as one would quaff a wine. I-502 actually does tackle the stoned-driver issue with a DUID scale, though the 5ng/mL whole blood THC concentration cut-off has been called into question by the opposition to the initiative. You’ve got till November 6 to take a few bong rips and make up your mind.
