WASHINGTON STATE (NEWS1130) – You can now spark one up in Washington State.
    
Pot is now legal there and Ian Sterling with KOMO News in Seattle tells us some plan to celebrate. “Well you can imagine there are some people pretty happy about this. You’ve heard of flashmobs, we’re hearing about stashmobs, people that plan to meet at 6′oclock at the Space Needle and light up.”

Sterling says people can possess up to an ounce but there are still a lot of things to be worked out. “What it does not do is allow for the sale, for you to give it away, or you to buy it, but you can essentially possess it. We don’t know if the state is going to get into the pot business.”
    
Possessing marijuana remains a Federal offence.
    
It’s also illegal to smoke in public but state police say they will only be giving verbal warnings.
