Alaska legalized recreational marijuana for adult use on Tuesday, becoming the fourth state in the nation to do so. The state joined Oregon and Washington, D.C. , both of which also voted Tuesday to legalize the drug for recreational use. Colorado and Washington state legalized recreational cannabis use in 2012. Alaska voters approved Measure 2, which legalizes the possession, use and sale of the drug for recreational use.
Prior to the vote, it was legal to use recreational marijuana in only four states and in the District of Columbia. Colorado and Washington state voted to OK it in 2012. Alaska and Oregon voters approved it in 2014. For the states where recreational use is legal, it seems to have been a boost to the economy.
