Colorado Enacts Law Allowing Recreational Pot Use 
--------------------------------------------------


 
Colorado has enacted its new law allowing the recreational use of
marijuana one month ahead of schedule. On Monday, Gov. John Hickenlooper
signed an executive order legalizing marijuana's recreational use
following its approval by state voters in a ballot measure last month.
Colorado follows Washington state, which enacted a similar law on
Thursday.
