In November 2012, Colorado passed a ballot initiative legalizing marijuana for recreational use. By Jan 1 2014, stores were open statewide, and the state has been collecting substantial tax revenue for 6 months.
In November 2012, Washington passed a ballot initiative legalizing marijuana for recreational use. On July, 8 2014, stores have opened statewide.
