First off, I don't drink. So don't jump to ignorant conclusions. BTW, where is any proof the people who voted no are "also the ones who drink"? Give me a break.
Second of all, thats is not correct. A supreme court judge last august made it legal for private use, to posess 4 ounces. You can find information all over the internet. Go look. Better yet, before another ignorant assumption of yours, I'll do it for you.
"Alaska is already in the vanguard of marijuana law reform, and a marijuana initiative on the November ballot could see the state pushing the envelope even further. Right now, Alaska is the only state in the union to have even partially legalized the possession of marijuana -- the state's highest courts have recently reaffirmed that possession of up to four ounces in one's home is protected by the privacy provisions of the state constitution. The November initiative, officially known as Ballot Measure 2, would remove all criminal penalties for marijuana possession, production, or sales and require the state legislature to craft regulations to govern the legal sale of the weed."

Here is another.
"The state Supreme Court in 1975 ruled that an adult's rights to limited marijuana possession was protected under the state constitution's privacy provisions. Last year, the Appeals Court defined that limit as 4 ounces."

I don't use it. It doesn't benefit my everyday life in any way. If it benefits your life, other then the fact of you "getting high" then it's one thing. You can get plenty high off the 4 ounces your allowed in your own personal posession.
