9 More States looking to Vote Yes to Legalizing or Medicinal Usage

Voters in five states -- California, Arizona, Massachusetts, Maine and Nevada -- will decide whether to fully legalize and regulate marijuana. They would join Washington, Colorado, Alaska and Oregon, states that already allow using marijuana for recreational purposes. Voters in another four states -- Florida, Montana, North Dakota and Arkansas -- will decide whether to approve marijuana for medical use. They'd join the list of 25 states and the District of Columbia that have approved medical marijuana.

VIA CNET: Sir Richard Branson tells marijuana advocates he's been fighting for the global decriminalization of the drug for years.

Just how big would legalizing marijuana be in California? Well, it's the most populous state in the US and has the world's sixth-largest economy with a gross domestic product of about $2.5 trillion.

Renowned billionaire and tech entrepreneur Richard Branson told a room full of cannabis advocates he was simply in the mood to "take a spliff or two," and much of the world is ready to legally take some tokes, too. "Why not?" the Virgin Group founder asked a crowd of about 1,000 people Saturday during the second annual New West Summit conference, "The Future of Cannabis, Now," in downtown San Francisco.

Speaking via Skype, Branson, an unapologetic cannabis supporter, said he's spent the past five years serving on the Global Commission on Drug Policy along with former United Nations General Secretary Kofi Annan and 15 former world leaders, calling not only for the controversial decriminalization of drugs, but also for its legalization worldwide.
