Legalization of Cannabis(Marijuana) in Alaska state, United State.

Alaska — Smoking, growing and possessing marijuana becomes legal in America's wildest state Tuesday, thanks to a voter initiative aimed at clearing away 40 years of conflicting laws and court rulings.Though the use, possession, cultivation and transportation of cannabis (marijuana) in the United States under federal law is illegal but federal government made it clear that, if a state wants to pass a law to decriminalize cannabis for recreational or medical use they can do so, but there must be a regulation system in place of cannabis. This means that the substance has been claimed by the U.S. federal government to have both high abuse potential and no established medical use. 

But when they voted 52-48 percent last November to legalize marijuana use by adults in private places, they left many of the details to lawmakers and regulators to sort out. 


Currently, the use of both recreational and medicinal marijuana has been entirely legalized in the states of ColoradoWashingtonAlaska and OregonAs of Today, adult Alaskans can not only keep and use pot, they can transport, grow it and give it away. A second phase, creating a regulated and taxed marijuana market, won't start until 2016 at the earliest. And while possession is no longer a crime under state law, enjoying pot in public can bring a $100 fine.
