Alaska becomes 3rd state to legalize marijuana
By: Associated Press
Alaska has become the third state in the U.S. to legalize the recreational use of marijuana.
A ballot measure approved by Alaska votes in November kicks in today, allowing adults 21 and older to possess up to an ounce of pot and up to six plants. Regulations for the sale of the drug till must be hammered out.
Smoking marijuana in public remains off-limits, and police officers in Alaska's largest city plan to strictly enforce the public ban.
Fear of people getting $100 fines for toking in public led an organizer to call off plans for a celebration party in downtown Anchorage.
Marijuana legalization supporters in Anchorage want the event to be low-key. They also plan to launch an advertising campaign recommending safe consumption, including ads on city buses.

Guess when you live in an area that only see's daylight 6 months of the year, as well as freezing temps most of the time...the best thing to do is drink and smoke up. lol
