which is still illegal in half the US

I was unaware that it's legal in half the US. That has to be hyperbole, right?

If you are discussing medical use, half is about right.

Recreation is only legal right now in CO and WA, with OR to follow mid year, when it's law goes into effect. June, I believe.

July 15th to be exact.

Isn't Alaska on the list of soon-to-be legal recreational states?

Pretty sure it's already legal in Alaska.

Possession and personal use, yes, but the channels for commercial production and sale have not been worked out yet.

First state to legalize, in fact

And probably DC, depending on what Congress and the courts do next.
