Residents of Denver, Colo., voted 54 percent to 46 percent last Tuesday in favor of legalizing marijuana.
The restrictions set are similar to those set for cigarettes.
In order to legally possess the drug, you must be 18 or older. But you may not obtain more than an ounce at a time.
Members of the Marijuana Policy Project of Denver, hope their vote will launch a national trend towards legalizing the drug.
Denver is the first city in the United States to legalize the possession of marijuana.
Law enforcement officials of Denver feel the enforcement of marijuana laws cause more problems than it cures.
It is currently unknown as to how many cities will follow in the legalization of the drug.
As the world continues to evolve, the laws and restrictions that were once enforced, have slowly become more lax.
Today, it's marijuana, who knows what is next.
