    Post And in other news...

    Thought this would be a good place to post interesting "Off Topic" news and articles, instead of people having to create new threads the whole time for everything they read on the web

    Coloradans say yes to recreational use of marijuana

    Voters approved an amendment legalizing recreational marijuana use in Colorado on Tuesday, making this one of two states to end prohibition of the drug but also raising new legal questions and setting up potential court battles.


    The historic result, projected by The Denver Post on Tuesday night, drew raucous cheers and applause from the amendment's supporters, who gathered in hundreds at Casselman's in downtown Denver.


    "We won! We won!" supporters cried as the results were splashed across a giant screen.


    Amendment 64 led late Tuesday night with 53.3 percent voting yes and 46.7 percent voting no, with 1,863,535 votes or about 66 percent of active voters counted, according to the Colorado Secretary of State's office.


    "This is really groundbreaking," said Beau Kilmer, co-director of the Rand Drug Policy Research Center. "No modern jurisdiction has ever removed the prohibition on the production and possession of marijuana for recreational purposes. ... Since no one has done this before, there are a lot of uncertainties."


    Voters in Washington state approved a similar measure Tuesday; in Oregon a legalization issue failed.
