Alaska becomes third state with legal weed

As of Tuesday you can smoke a joint in Juneau, fire up in Fairbanks, or get blazed on the Bering Strait without running afoul of the law.

But that doesn't mean you can have a doobie in Denali or meet Mary Jane up on Mount McKinley — because there's also a new smoking ban in effect in public places, such as state and national parks.

Alaska's status as the third state to make marijuana legal for all adults was sealed last November, when 52% of voters decided to back legalization. That ballot initiative required pot to be legal 90 days after the results were certified — in other words, Feb. 24.

Colorado and Washington state were the first to legalize in 2013, thanks to successful ballot initiatives in 2012. Oregon also voted to legalize marijuana on its November 2014 ballot, but that won't kick in until July 1.

So, let´s visit Alaska today?????
