Colorado and Washington await feds on marijuana measures
Colorado and Washington move toward decriminalizing adult possession while awaiting a federal decision. Holder planned to discuss with Colorado's governor if the federal government will block the measure. If not blocked, Colorado may legalize possession by January with regulatory steps possible by 2014. Washington faces a December 6 effective date if unblocked, with a state sales framework to follow.
