2 states legalize pot, but don't 'break out the Cheetos' yet
Los Angeles (CNN)-- Pro-pot teams cheered passage of referendums legalizing recreational marijuana in Colorado and Washington state as the "light at the end of the tunnel" in their 50-year project to make the drug legal nationwide. "Yesterday's elections have forever changed the playing field regarding cannabis prohibition laws in America (and probably in large parts of the world too)," Allen St. Pierre, executive director of NORML-- the National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws-- wrote in a celebratory blog Wednesday. However Colorado Gov. John Hickenlooper cautioned it's ahead of time to "break out the Cheetos" because his state must still navigate federal laws prior to citizens can legitimately buy and sell cannabis. The Drug Enforcement Administration quickly attempted to ruin their Rocky Mountain high, issuing a statement Wednesday morning saying the DEA's "enforcement of the Controlled Substances Act remains unchanged.".

Key:
- Aggregate Sentiment is meant to be an indicator of an individual's overall sentiment.
- The Mean is meant to be an indicator of an individual's average comment sentiment.
- The Standard Deviation, when there are enough quotes, will indicate an individual's consistency of sentiment (i.e. a Standard Deviation of 0 would mean they were very consistent in their sentiment and 1 would mean they were very inconsistent).
Note that quote stats are likely to be meaningless beyond the aggregate score due to the tiny sample size. However, they are always provided just in case you find something useful there.
