The Tribune-Democrat, 27 Jan 2013 – SPOKANE, Wash. (AP) – Will the Marlboro Man light up a joint soon? The states of Washington and Colorado legalized possession of small amounts of recreational marijuana in the November elections, but it is unclear if any cigarette makers plan to supply either market.

The Philadelphia Inquirer, 29 Nov 2012 – SPOKANE, Wash. – Young voters helped pass laws legalizing marijuana in Washington and Colorado, but many still won’t be able to light up. Most universities have codes of conduct banning marijuana use, and they get millions of dollars from the federal government, which still considers pot illegal. And it’s still not clear how the federal government will respond to state legalization off campus as well.
