I think what they said is that their constitutional right to privacy
outweighed the voters initiative to recriminalize pot.

What i find amazing is when they said (talking about an initiative on
their
upcoming ballot):

Quote: "This initiative specially calls on legislature to regulate
marijuana
like
alcohol," said Hinterberger, an associate professor of the biomedical
program at the University of Alaska Anchorage.

The Cannabis Decriminalization and Regulation Act opens the door for
legislature to levy taxes and potentially providing revenue for the state,
Hinterberger said."  Unquote

So, how are they going to levy taxes on the sale of pot?  Since they are
going to consider it the same as alcohol will you be able to go into a
store
and buy it?
