From Say No to Yes Washington Pot Legalization Story
The 1980s to 2010s shift in U S drug policy culminated in Washington and Colorado voting to legalize marijuana for adults 21 and over. Rick Steves helped frame the message, backed by a broad coalition including John McKay and Seattle figures, with funding from Soros funded groups. Voters approved Amendment 64 in Colorado and Initiative 502 in Washington, while Oregon failed Measure 80.
