5 Reasons Why Oregon's Weed Legalization Initiative Is the Most Radical on the November Ballots

(Alternet) This is the age of marijuana reform, but we’re still, realistically, a long way from legalization. Three states—Oregon, Washington and Colorado—are cruising ahead to an election with marijuana legalization initiatives on the ballots, and, depending on what happens, 2013 could be a lot more mellow.
