It’s been almost a week since Alaskans approved ballot measure 2 legalizing recreational marijuana in Alaska and no surprise: People are still talking about it. Here’s a quick rundown of quick marijuana coverage happening in-state and nationally.
The Alaska Alcoholic Beverage Control Board released a short Q&A Monday outlining some of the major questions associated with marijuana legalization. Most of the questions deal with people looking to get business licenses - appropriate, given that the ABC board or the marijuana control board (if the legislature decides to create it) will be in charge of regulating businesses. The most interesting question addressed is whether the board is keeping a list of businesses or individuals looking to get marijuana business licenses. Short answer? It’s not. The Q&A doesn’t have answers to many of the questions, given the election hasn’t even been certified yet. Expect that to happen by late November.
