    Alaska Approves Pot Legalization Ballot
     
    Which state will be the next to legalize marijuana? Industry leader Steve Fox thinks Alaska, which has certified a regulate-pot ballot initiative for the 2014 primary. Fox co-wrote Colorado's Amendment 64, which legalized marijuana there in November, and is the MPP's national political director. He tells CelebStoner that Alaska has a solid chance because the vote will take place on a primary, not on Election Day.
    Organizers now need 30,000 signatures to get the proposal officially on the ballot. Fox contends that efforts to pass voter initiatives are generally more successful during Presidential elections, not between them, such as 2014. The Alaska initiative would be an exception to that rule.
    \nIn Alaska, possession of less than four ounces of marijuana in your residence is currently decriminalized.
    \nEven as lax as Alaska is on possession decriminalization does not remove the market from criminals control and put it where ID's can be checked.

    Well, it's not like weed just showed up in Alaska yesterday and I don't think the folks up there much go for the Project Sam type of shit.  As for Kennedy, I don't think our side could have hand picked a better opposition.  He didn't "wake up" the day after the 2012 elections and realize what was going on - he probably got a phone call from a group of lobbyists offering him a "consulting" position.
