The push to legalize marijuana in Washington state, not just for medical users, but anybody over 21, takes a giant leap forward today. Supporters are about to turn in petition signatures from more than 355-thousand voters. KOMO's Bill Yeend spoke with Alison Holcomb, campaign director for New Approach Washington, which Is behind the petition drive, and Kevin Sabet a former senior adviser to Director Gil Kerlikowske at the White House Office of National Drug Control.
