Recreational pot nears legalization in California, Massachusetts
None
SACRAMENTO - Ballot measures to legalize recreational marijuana for adults were headed for enactment in California and Massachusetts on Tuesday, while voters in Florida and two smaller states appeared to have approved initiatives permitting medical use of cannabis.
California and Massachusetts would become the fifth and sixth states allowing people aged 21 and over to use marijuana for the sheer pleasure of its intoxicating effects, extending legalization to the entire US Pacific Coast and its first toehold in New England.
