When it came to the fast-expanding rights of marijuana smokers, Election Night was not a buzz kill. Voters in Alaska, Oregon and Washington, D.C. passed measures legalizing the drug for recreational use Tuesday, joining Colorado and Washington, which legalized the drug in 2012.
Alaska's Measure 2 allows residents over the age of 21 to posses up to one ounce of marijuana and to grow six plants for personal use. Devices used to smoke marijuana, such as bongs and pipes, can now also legally be sold in the state.
