Alaska's Law Banning Pot Held Unconstitutional
A law banning the possession of small amounts of maijuana has been ruled unconstitutional by an Alaska appeal court.
The ruling affirms a 1975 Alaska Supreme Court decision that found it legal to possess less than four ounces of marijuana in one's home. That ruling found that the state constitution's strong privacy law superseded legislative attempts to ban marijuana.
