It started with students at San Rafael High School (Marin County, CA), in the early '70s. It was the time of afternoon that they would meet at a statue on the school grounds to smoke weed. Eventually, it became a general reference to pot smoking, and even an alternate name for cannabis itself.

via Alaska Supreme Court opinion. No one gets busted here unless they've got a major grow going on.

So it'll still be illegal, and the DEA will still be making busts. But it's a positive step.

by requiriing them to have their MMJ shops at least a 1000 yards from any school. As a side note, Maggies Farm, a dispensary, was robbed last night...

Here's a good story for you from the Anchorage Daily News.

http://www.adn.com/2012/04/20/2432896/wasilla-distillery-releases-hemp.html

Wasilla distillery marks '420' day with hemp vodka release

WASILLA -- During at least one 420 celebration in Alaska on Friday, you'll be invited to pour yourself a drink instead of lighting a joint.

"420" is the code for cannabis consumption, and April 20 -- or 4/20 -- is the holy day. But why not pour a drink of hemp seed vodka instead, says a Wasilla-based distillery.

Purgatory is the newest flavor from the Alaska Distillery, the company that made a mark two years ago with the introduction of its smoked salmon-flavored vodka.

"We have a mad scientist who kind of runs the joint here, and he seems to have brilliant ideas," said Bella Coley, the distillery's chief operating officer.
