Colorado and Washington made history a decade ago, on November 6, 2012, by becoming the first jurisdictions in the world to legalize the possession and sale of cannabis for adults, Washington with a measure called Initiative 502, and Colorado with a measure called Amendment 64.
Since then, the legalization of legal cannabishas spread to U.S. statesfrom coast to coast, and from Canada to Uruguay. With this week’s vote and legalization in Maryland and Missouri, cannabis is now legal in nearly half the country.
