It's about time. Hope other states follow. But I'd like to see a better structured system to set up sales and taxation. And, we still need a some guidance or legal limit on operating a motor vehicle while under the influence.

Remind me not to move to that state!

FREEDOM! GOD BLESS AMERICA!

I'm sure it will bring social problems similar to alcohol, however if that is what people want they have the freedom. It will be interesting to see the long term effects.

Well if its going to be legal in your state of course tax it as liquor is, but don't count on it coming to this state for along time

I'm so proud of my home, Washington State. Gay marriage 100% legal Marijuana 100% legal The right to die 100% legal No income tax, Seattle has least violent crime in America, a booming diverse economy, thriving arts and culture. Wow what a place! Get to work Minnesota!

Why shouldn't legalize and tax it. These people are going to smoke regardless of the law. Plain and simple: there are millions of tax dollars being left on the table.

Quit prosecuting people for marijuana and legalize it.
