“As has been well documented, I smoked pot as a kid, and I view it as a bad habit and a vice, not very different from the cigarettes that I smoked as a young person up through a big chunk of my adult life,” the president told the New Yorker’s David Remnick. “I don’t think it is more dangerous than alcohol.”

Colorado and Washington made headlines in 2013 when laws were passed to legalize marijuana. And while the Midwestern state has already created a legal weed business, Washington is not expected to have the market for pot operational until June.

In the midst of such historical change, many have wondered, “what states will be legalizing marijuana in 2014?”

Activists promoting the medicinal benefits of the drug would no doubt love to see a greater acceptance of marijuana, especially with its potential to support the economy and aid those with debilitating illness.

Accumulated for the benefit of all in favor of ending prohibition, the following are potential states which may follow the example of Colorado and Washington and make marijuana legally available.
