The second “marijuana moment” occurred in the US, where the states of Washington and Colorado have entered the final stages of fully legalizing marijuana usage, following popular referenda last November. Both states have just concluded the drafting and publication of the rules and regulations that will translate their referendum results into law: how to forbid consumption by minors; how to punish consumers driving under the influence; what kind of taxes and tax rates are most appropriate; and how non-residents will be treated, among other complicated and controversial issues.
第二个“大麻时刻“发生于美国，去年11月举行公投后，华盛顿州和科罗拉多州进入了大麻使用完全合法化的最后步骤。两个州均刚刚决定起草和公布将公投结果转化为法律的规则和规定：如何禁止未成年人消费大麻、如何惩罚吸大麻后开车的消费者、怎样以何种税率征税比较合适、非本州居民如何处置，以及其他富有争议的复杂问题。作为美国的立法先锋，这两个州将以身试错。
