Toronto - Canada's marijuana industry could benefit after at least six states representing twice the population of Canada voted in favour of legalizing the drug, either recreationally or medically. Voters in California, Massachusetts and Nevada approved on Tuesday the use of recreational...

Marijuana legalization has apparently failed in Arizona, with uncounted votes unlikely to turn the defeat into victory as they did with the state's medical-marijuana measure in 2010. As evidence mounts that the gulf between the "no" and "yes" votes on Prop 205 is too vast for the measure to...
