DC becomes first east of Mississippi to legalize marijuana
The District of Columbia legalized recreational marijuana at 12:01 a.m. Thursday despite congressional opposition. Possession up to two ounces at home and cultivation of up to three mature plants are now legal, but public use and sales remain illegal. Mayor Muriel Bowser backed the measure, calling it a milestone toward ending prohibition. Alaska also moved toward legalization, though its regulated market may take years.
