Alaska became the third state to legalize marijuana use.

Following in the footsteps of Colorado and Washington, Alaska's legalization allowed for the possession, cultivation, and sale of marijuana for recreational purposes. This move aimed to generate tax revenue, reduce the black market, and redirect law enforcement resources towards more pressing issues.Rate this question:
