ASHEVILLE —Â What some are calling a marijuana revolution taking root in other states will result in legalization of the much-debated weed in North Carolina, Buncombe County Sheriff Van Duncan believes.
"Sadly, yes, because of the money involved and the widespread public acceptance," Duncan said. "I think legalization is probably going to continue to spread. Every time it happens in one state, it makes it harder for other states to enforce."
Colorado and Washington already allow recreational sale and use of marijuana, boosting tax revenues, and two other states, Alaska and Oregon, are phasing in legalization this year.
