guess the end time is near.
Voters in Washington have approved
gay marriage, joining Maine and
Maryland as the first states to pass
same-sex marriage through popular
vote.
Six other states -- New York,
Connecticut, Iowa, Massachusetts,
New Hampshire, Vermont -- and the
District of Columbia already allow gay
marriage. But Maryland, Maine and
Washington are the first to enact it by
public vote.
With huge financial supports from
Microsoft CEO Bill Gates it raised $12
million for the support.
Gay couples in Washington could
start picking up their marriage
certificates and licenses from county
auditor offices Dec. 6, a day after the
election is certified.
The law doesn't require religious
organizations or churches to perform
marriages, and it doesn't subject
churches to penalties if they don't
marry gay or lesbian couples.
Washington's measure establishes a
system of state-licensed marijuana
growers, processors and stores,
where adults can buy up to an ounce.
It also establishes a standard blood
test limit for driving under the
influence.

"Marijuana policy reform remains an
issue where the people lead and the
politicians follow," said Ethan
Nadelmann of the Drug Policy
Alliance, which opposes the co-called
"war on drugs." ''But Washington
state shows that many politicians are
beginning to catch up."
Estimates show pot taxes could bring
in hundreds of millions of dollars a
year, but the sales won't start until
state officials make rules to govern
the legal weed industry.

@ Ayomax: Gay marriage and marijuana are only legal in SOME states, not all states.

So I respectfully ask you to change the title.

@ Ayomax: Gay marriage is legal in Maryland, Washington(state), Maine, New York, Connecticut, Iowa, Massachusetts, New Hampshire and Vermont. It is also legal in Washington, D.C.

On the other hand, the recreational use of marijuana is legal in both Colorado and Washington(state). However, US federal law explicitly bans the use of marijuana. However, the Federal government may decide not to challenge the law in those states because it was the voters that voted in favor of such laws last week Tuesday.
