Well, it least it was a good day for marijuana legalization.

DC legalized it.

Oregon legalized it.

Alaska legalized it.

That's a trifecta. In an off-year election.

There are going to be a bunch more states with it on the ballot in 2016. Especially California. After that, the whole West Coast will be legal.
