Charlo Greene, a former reporter for Anchorage's KTVA who made headlines when she said "f**k it" and quit while live on air, celebrated marijuana legalization in Alaska on Wednesday, praising voters for making history "for doing a good thing."
Voters across the country have accelerated the unprecedented momentum to legalize marijuana and end the wider drug war, with marijuana legalization measures passing in Oregon, Alaska and Washington, D.C., while groundbreaking criminal justice reforms passed in California and New Jersey.
CANNABIS CULTURE - The weed world was watching Tuesday November 4 and stoners stateside didn’t disappoint. Delivering a 3 for 4 night in the 2014 midterm election marijuana vote. In case you missed it - the USA has gone to pot - with District of Columbia, Oregon and Alaska voting to legalize marijuana and Florida was a near miss.
Pot was one of three controversial statewide questions on the ballot Tuesday, along with an effort to raise the minimum wage and question related to mining in Bristol Bay.
While pundits pore over exit polls in key races that could swing control of the Senate on Tuesday, marijuana advocates will be focused on several states with pot initiatives on the ballot.
In what has to be one of the most epic ways a person has quit their job, a reporter in Alaska stunned everyone when she advocated for legalizing pot and resigned on the spot on live television.
