The city of Breckenridge, Colorado had enough votes to legalize marijuana.

72% of residents voted to make smoking an ounce or less legal in the ski town. It is still illegal on a state and federal level. The new legislation also states that you have to be over 21 to have possesion or smoke it.

Attorney Sean McAllister was a major advocate of the measure. He said:

“We believe this a signal to the state of Colorado and the nation as a whole.”

This could very well be huge for the legalization movement nation wide. It only takes one city to start a spark and then it spreads like wildfire.
