Both Washington and Colorado states today, passed the recreational marijuana legalizations. Which means that it is now legal for an adult, above 21 years of age, to consume, produce, cultivate and distribute any Cannabis products. Effective by 6th of December 2012. Massachusetts has also pass a law legalizing the use of Medical Marijuana for certified patients.
But the Federal US Law, total prohibition of Marijuana, still stands. Spectators assumed the sharp raise of Cannabis tourists visiting the states, in addition to already established tourism industry in Colorado and Washington state, where the annual Hempfest, a 3 day Hemp galore, are held. On the other hand, a drop of leisure tourists are also expected.
Nonetheless, another small step towards the Hemp Future.
