Do YOU live in a COOL state?
The sweet 10. These 10 state legislatures (except Alaska's) decriminalized marijuana possession in the 1970s. (NONE SINCE)
Alaska, California, Colorado, Nebraska, New York, North Carolina, Maine, Minnesota, Ohio, and Oregon
Oregon was the first, in 1973, following the recommendations of the Nixon administration's National Commission on Marijuana Use (also known as the Shafer Commission).
Nebraska was the last, in 1979.
Another state, Mississippi, decriminalized marijuana possession in the '70s but later recriminalized it as a misdemeanor offense.
Alaska is unclear. A 1975 state Supreme Court decision decriminalized marijuana possession, but voters approved a state referendum in 1990 that recriminalized all possession.
What does it mean? $100 fine for less than 1.5 oz only on private property as long as a motor vehicle is not involved.
