It's legal to light up in Colorado and Washington, and soon smoking pot could be legalized across the country following a decision Thursday by the federal government.

After Washington state and Colorado passed laws in November 2012 legalizing the consumption and sale of marijuana for adults over 18, lawmakers in both states waited to see whether the federal government would continue to prosecute pot crimes under federal statutes in their states.

Both Colorado and Washington have been working to set up regulatory systems in order to license and tax marijuana growers and retail sellers, but have been wary of whether federal prosecutors would come after them for doing so. They are the first states to legalize pot, and therefore to go through the process of trying to set up a regulatory system.

1. I first smoked pot 34 years ago. I have since dreamed and hoped for the day...

...when I could go into a store, buy a bag and smoke half of it on the way home.

Are we on the cusp of that? I sure hope so - teenage Cooley looks at middle-aged Cooley and says, "Dude... are we there yet?? And don't bogart that doob!!!! Oh, and FUNYUNS! Definitely Funyuns!!!"

Half Baked was a documentary, by the way...
