It doesn't count in Alaska anyway, IMO.

This would pass without question on a bigger state that holds a more diverse voice in this country (like CA or NY).

As long as beer and cigarettes are legal, I will treat marijuana the same (with complete disregard for the law). Unless you're a big time drug dealer or get caught with an insane amount, you'll just get a slap on the wrist anyway.

For instance, in Ann Arbor, MI, you could be smoking it right in front of a cop and the most you'll get is $10 fine (might be $15 now). Most people just smoke it in their own house anyway, so it's not really a problem.

I'd just be nice if people could maintain a more open mind about things - if cigs and alcohol are legal, there is absolutely no reason for marijuana to not be (which was actually the point I was trying to make above). If you vote no on marijuana, then I better not see ya drinking a beer or smoking a cig!

Of course, that whole debate will probably need a thread of its own.

I don't live in Alaska, so it's no concern of mine that they didn't vote to legalize it. They're also a republican state, so I wouldn't really expect much progress up in that area to being with (in terms of this topic, anyway).
